To Fear God is to Love Him

Ecc.12:14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.
Ecc.12:13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecc.11:5 As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.
What manner of being is this living God? One who is all knowing, all seeing and Judge and Creator of all living creatures! He speaks to the wind and it blows, the rain clouds and they drop their rain, the storms and they wreak havoc and to tiny cells and they form a baby. He causes every manner of plant to grow, every tree and every flower. The clouds that look like big puffy, soft cotton balls, the sun to warm the days and the moon to glow in the sky, with all the stars that twinkle and all the planets that seemingly hang in the sky with nothing visible holding them in place. This being who created everything, is way beyond our grasp of knowledge!
Lord, I ask for forgiveness for my disobedience. I am in awe of the wonder of You. My heart catches when I think of Your power and Your mercy. The mystery of Your Words and the truth You have revealed to us through Jesus are forever in my heart. Teach us Your ways. Amen
