“…and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.” (Revelation 11:13b)
Many places in the Bible remind us that fear is a galvanizing emotion. Proverbs tells us that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. In Acts 5, the death of Ananias and Sapphira led to a fear in the church that was healthy and kept them from irreverence and sin.
Fear reminds us we are small, and it clarifies who has authority. Our weakness in moments of terror can lead us to seek refuge in God. He is the Rock in the storm. From health scares to middle-life crises… uncertainty can be our moment to return and give glory to God.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
