Do I fear the Lord? Absolutely if you mean do I revere Him and honor Him. Am I afraid of the Lord? No. I am not afraid of Him because I know His heart—that is His character. Although He is an awesome God and altogether holy, He is also a loving and merciful God.

“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him.”

— Psalm 103:11, 13 and 17 (NIV)

Lord help us to fear and honor You even as we rest securely in Your perfect love. Amen.
