Today at Seminary chapel, I heard a very convicting sermon that dealt with the Fear of God.
The speaker, Les Lofquist, challenged us to fear God. He said that without fearing God it is easier to compromise, sin, and display the pride of life.
He used the example of King Uzziah who began by fearing God, but even though God had blessed him immensely, his pride got the best of him. He did not upstage God, since Yahweh struck him with leprosy and had to live out the remainder of his days in seclusion.
Though we are not kings, we have been blessed by God yet at times our pride blinds us from the proper perspective. This, of course, does not happen in a vacuum, rather it is a symptom of our lack of fearing God.
i was reminded that fear is not something you just acquired like on an internet shopping cart, rather it is something that I need to cultivate daily.
