The Fear of the Lord

Take Time to Reflect on this Quote…

Yes I know how terrible that doubt is “Perhaps He will

not.” But it is so seldom the present and the actual that

is intolerable.

Remember one is given strength to bear what

happens to one, but not the 100 and 1 different

things that might happen.

And don’t say God has proved that He can make you fear poverty, illness,

etc.

I am sure God never teaches us the fear of anything but

Himself.

As the only two good lines in one of our bad hymns says

“Fear Him ye saints and you will then have nothing to

fear.”

~ C.S. Lewis
