We've had serious deja vous in this house for the past week. The pressure is mounting, the thoughts carried away from the now to Wednesday, the daydreams have begun. The court dance is in full swing. Will we pass? What will it feel like to finally have good news, to finally be able to introduce you to our son? What will happen if something goes wrong, again?
The questions are endless and exasperating. Today we awoke with a strong feeling of peace and excitement.
NOW IS THE TIME. Now is the time for courage, now is the time for faith, now is the time for fear.
Yes, fear. The RIGHT kind of fear can serve you well in hard times, a lesson we have learned in the past few months.
"I am a God who is near. I am also a God who is far away," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:23
We serve a MIGHTY God who is able to do all things, more than we can ask or imagine. He is HUGE, He is EVERYWHERE, He knows EVERYTHING. This is scary and brings us to our knees.
He is a God to be feared. And that fear is liberating, inspiring, and comforting.
Today we are comforted by our fear, good fear, righteous fear. Because we fear our God, we do not fear Tuesday. You see, our great and mighty God is FOR US. He is working on our behalf, purposing good and kindness in ways we can only dream of. How great is that!
Once you fear your Lord, and know that He is on your side in all of his awesomeness and might, what else is there?
What a relief!
