Why do I fear God?

When I was a child, the one who protected me was often my parent, and they usually were trying to stop me from hurting myself. But as the most significant person in my life that had provided everything for me from infancy, I was afraid that I was doing something wrong I feared them because they were being very, loud, telling me to stop. That fear soon grew into a deeper love as I matured and realized that this discipline was there for a reason. I think that’s the hardest thing to see when you’re going through it. It’s there for a reason!

So, that looks a little bit like my relationship to God, when I read in the Bible where He’s trying to show His character to all of us. His presence is so awesome and powerful that you can’t even live in this mortal body while in His full presence! So we kind a cower back, as the scripture talks about in Exodus 20:18, we are scared so we let certain people go to the Lord because He’s so powerful, and the people feared Him because they had seen how powerful He was. But that fear was there for a reason. His ways are higher than our ways. He knows how to cultivate the kind of love in us so we can see the Love He has for us! The simple truth is that what He wants from us is to be in us. To dwell in us and together we can do all things according to His desire because He is Elohim! How can you not fear the most powerful thing that exists in your universe or cosmos? It says in Luke 12 That you shouldn’t fear the one who can kill you here on earth but you should really fear the one who decides your eternal outcome beyond this mortal coil!
