To fear the Lord is the beginning of freedom. ——————-Ecclesiastes 1:14a
It is very a very strange fact that in giving ourselves freely to God we become free ourselves. It is in “fearing” God that we gain our very souls. To “fear” him is to acknowledge that he is God and he is in control. Yet his way of control is to give us freedom. We can choose him or not. We can love him or not. We can”fear” him or not. It is up to each of us.
Intriguing God, your way to control is to give freedom. Hep us to use our freedom for you kingdom. AMEN
