Fear God AloneMatthew 10:28
No. 272Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.Matthew 10:28
Perspective on fear: the worst anyone can do is end your physical life. That's significant — but it's not the final word. When you rightly fear God — revere His authority over eternity — every lesser fear shrinks. The right fear liberates you from all the wrong ones.
Reflect
What fear is currently controlling your decisions? How does a proper fear of God put it in perspective?
Prayer
Lord, let a right reverence for You be so large in my heart that every lesser fear becomes small. You alone are worthy of ultimate reverence. Amen.
