Remembering what pastor eugene shared on sun, that we need to have the fear of the Lord. Today's psalm showed a man who does not have the fear of the Lord, who became proud and full of him/herself and fall into sin because he/she thinks that nothing will happen. This person is not fearful of the Lord's punishment.
I guess it may be difficult for us to imagine how the fear of the Lord should be, maybe because we havent really experience God's punishment before. But like what pastor eugene shared, the fear of the Lord can be learnt, by turning away from evil, doing good, seeking peace and persevere in the race with God. We can all learn.
God also reminded me that we can grow in our fear of the Lord, when we experience Him and grow to know Him more. When we know how holy and righteous He is, how powerful and almighty He is, we will grow in our fear for Him. because of His holiness, no sin can come before Him, and in His power, He can destroy us and punish us seriously. It is not a fear like fearful... but it is a fear where we are respectful and honours Him more than ourselves.
Somethings i feel like my spiritual life is stagnanting, yearning for more of God's touch and revelation. And He spoke in this psalm, that He is the fountain of life, providing fresh and cleansing water to give life to the spiritually thirsty. It's not about the "wow" feeling or great breakthroughs or miracles that we need, it is the refreshment and relationship with the Lord, which will quench our thirst. Come and drink...
"Lord, help me thirst for You, so that i will yearn to spend time with You.
Help me to grow the the fear of You, by letting me grow to know You more. Amen."
