Just as we are wired for worship, we are wired for fear – but the right kind of fear…to embrace the fear of the Lord – to stand in awe of His creative majesty, to revere His holiness and judgments, to view with wide-eyed wonder His love and mercy in the face of Jesus Christ, to see Him come through in saving and sustaining ways – is to embrace a fear that causes us to release all other lesser fears. To embrace Him is to embrace freedom from all anxieties, fears, timidity, and cowardice.
