REVERENT FEAR

Psalm 2:11
Serve the Lord with reverent fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
With solemn declaration under oath.



Serving the Lord means doing exactly what He wants and the time He wants. Reverence means that you should think about things the way God is thinking about things. This can be achieved through continual prayer to God, just as He commanded us in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to, “pray continually.” The Holy Spirit tells us what the will of God is through His Word as John 16:13 teaches us, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth.” Also, 1 Corinthians 2:16 tell us, “Who can know what the Lord is thinking? Who can give him counsel? But we can understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.” God’s children need to pray often to get and stay connected with God because He should be served with reverent fear.
