FeAr God ALONE!

yoyo..sori ppl 4 d long absence. due to reasons lik er..lab reports, assignments, and lazy =P, i haven been updating..sori ya..=(..

anyway i was reading my bible in 1 of my quiet times recently n there was something that reli reli spoke out 2 me..something we hear so often but YET find it so hard 2 apply in our lives..

In Psalms 76:7 it says; You(God) alone are to be feared. Who can stand before You when You are angry?

u c it says God ALONE is 2 be feared..noticed y i emphazise the word alone? its cz so many times as humans that we tend to fear so many other things such as "what ppl would think if i did this for God?", "would the outcome be ok?" and etc etc. BUT the bible says ALONE and it means ALONE! .

For example, lets just say something good happens in your life. Would u praise God's name in front of those who comes and compliments you despite them being atheist or non-believers? i admit there are times im afraid to bring God's name in the picture when responding to such praises especially coming from sum1 older (eg.aunt, uncle) cz u neva noe how they mite shoot u bac but this words really shot me! cz God ALONE is to be feared..in oder words we juz do what He commanded us to do and in this case is to glorify His name despite the fact that we could be ridiculed..

Now this is juz an example and there are actually many other ways we could stand up for God but yet we choose not to coz we fear what men might think.

Besides that, fearing God ALONE is also 2 show that we trust Him knowing that wateva He tells us to do, He will see us thru it despite there being opposition from men. i lik wat dis phrase "1 man + God = MAJORITY!" .and it also says that greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. so why should we fear those who are of the world? 0_o..amazing!! In addition to that, it also says fear not men who destroy only the body BUT fear God who has the power to destroy both the soul and the body! ..

Btw, this fear that i speak off is not that lik afraid or anytin lik dat but rather its awe and reverence, noe-ing that God is the ultimate power and His will will be done! =)..

so yeah! if u have been convicted reading this post about standing up for God despite what ppl mite think n u haven been doin so, 2day is the day 2 purpose in ur heart to be 1 who fears GOD ALONE! =)..join me as we proclaim the greatness and goodness of God to men not caring what they mite think bout us. And yes it wouldn't be easy as spoken BUT we are neva to do it in our strength but instead to depend on God for His strength to be bold! so yea pray 4 strength!

Unashamed,

David.
