Dear Mark,
The fear of God from my experience is for our benefit. The main thing I would say about our God is that he is the greatest teacher. He knew that Isaiah needed a hot coal on his tongue to convince him to release his guilt and to give him enough fear to stop his destructive habit. What an awesome teacher he is. In Dueteronomy when Moses was told by the Israelites that they were to afraid of God to go to the mountain Gods response touched me.
He said to Moses, Oh that they would fear me and keep my commandments that it might go well for them and their children forever.
That revealed to me his motive in causing anyone to fear is to make us teachable and keep us from harm in this life and the next. There is a point in most of our lives when we realize we are not enough in ourselves but need the wisdom and love of God. I found this in Jesus.
I hope you have a healthy and prosperous Year in 1999,
Nancy
