Through God's Eyes

Revelation 15:4a

Who will not fear, O Lord,

and glorify your name?

For you alone are holy.

The Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom... (Proverbs 1:7)... Do we fear God? 

This question that so often is answer hastily by us.. In deep thought about this question, may His light expose our lives as they truly are.

God is perfect, meaning He has no fault in Him. By nature God cannot commune with imperfection. We have been tainted because we have rebelled against Him. We are unholy due to sin. Through Christ’s sacrifice we who are chosen by God and chose Him are redeemed and have been given Christ’s holiness upon our lives, however, the question remains, do we fear God? Fearing God is not to be scared to him like a monster, but to be afraid to disappoint Him because we want to make Him proud. We should view sin in a similar manner as He does. Sin is repugnant in His eyes, yet so often it is desirable in ours. As a sign of walking with God and growing in a relationship with Him, we become more like Him, if this is the case, our perspective on sin needs to change. We need to be disgusted by the sin in our life, and we must strive to repel it from our lives. If we truly fear God, we will keep His commandments and live as we would desire. We are indebted to Him, may we live daily as if we are gladly slaves of the King. Furthermore, may we bring Him the glory from our lives in every manner. For we do nothing on our own, but we can do all things through Christ who is our strength (Phil 4:13)... Family, God’s glory is not found in our sin, but our victories. May we continue, and for some begin, to fight the sin in our life for our King and conquer in His name, out of love for Him. 

May we see with God's eyes and not our own
