Worship: Reverential Fear of God
Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world
stand in awe of Him.
--Psalm 33:8
"When we come into this sweet relationship, we are beginning to learn
astonished reverence, breathless adoration, awesome fascination,
lofty admiration of the attributes of God and something of the
breathless silence that we know when God is near.
You may never have realized it before, but all of those elements in
our perception and consciousness of the divine Presence add up to
what the Bible calls "the fear of God."...
There are very few unqualified things in our lives, but I believe
that the reverential fear of God mixed with love and fascination and
astonishment and admiration and devotion is the most enjoyable state
and the most purifying emotion the human soul can know."
