Fear of God is Good

[S] Exodus 20:20 --
20 Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid; for God has come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may remain with you, so that you may not sin."

[O] God allows us to pass through some of His tests not just for us to get stronger in faith but also that the fear of Him will remain with us to avoid sinning.  One cannot have strong faith and sin at the same time so His fear is us is a good discipline for us to keep away from sinning which will lead to a closer walk with God resulting in fruitful life.

[A] Just like whenever I see a CHP on the highway, I would make sure I'm within the speed limit, whenever I know that God is with me, I would make sure I am within the boundaries of godly living.  Good or bad times, I must not forgot to honor God and fear His presence in my life.

[P] Dear Father, I honor Your fearful presence in my life such that I would strive to live my life in line with Your principles.  So many times, when I'm just coasting along, I am bound to make mistakes and be pulled to the ways of our enemy.  I want to be soaked with Your amazing grace at all times.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
