We are learning to live with a continual awareness that God is real, present, and worthy of our highest honor, reverence, and obedience. When we magnify God, seek Him, and keep eternity in view, we position ourselves for His protection, provision, wisdom, and direction. The fear of the Lord is not a crippling fear, but a holy reverence that helps us redeem our time, live purposefully, and prepare for the eternal rewards that await those who faithfully follow Him.
