Proper fear of God

As we have been talking about being holy in a follower of Jesus life we must have a proper fear of God. He is God!!! We need to uphold Him in His proper place which is above all. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere all at the same time! He has the right to judge us as He sees fit and give us any punishment or reward that He wants. Every decision He makes is right! He loves us too! Think on those things for a bit. Do you live live with a proper fear of God? The majority don’t give any thought to it.

Look at this example from Nehemiah 5:15 The former governors who were before me laid heavy burdens on the people and took from them for their daily ration forty shekels of silver. Even their servants lorded it over the people. But I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

He treated people right! Why? Because He had the proper fear of God...knowing one day he would stand in front of God and give an account of himself. You will too!

So do you have a proper fear of God?
