“The Lord confides in those who fear Him; He makes His covenant known to them.” ~Psalm 25:14
“He will bless those who fear the Lord—small and great alike.” Psalm 115:13
“I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.” ~Peter (Acts 10:34-35)
“Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear ME and keep all My commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!” ~God (Deuteronomy 5:29)
As the author of my Following God Bible Study wrote, “Obedience is the measure of our reverence for God.” (Barber, Rasnake, Shepherd; Life Principles of Worship from the Tabernacle; p. 7)
”They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.” ~Ephesians 4:18
“Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from you God; your sins have hidden His face from you; so that He will not hear.” ~Isaiah 59:1-2
“If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not live by the Truth.” ~1John 1:6
Deception, disobedience or betrayal breaks bonds—relationship cannot survive. Oh, sure, superficially, we can be in close proximity, communicating, but alone and isolated in every way. We cannot know ourselves or each other without honesty. God will know who you are and you might even know who He is but the bond will be broken if we are not sincerely penitent toward our heavenly Father...and each other.
“For the Mighty One has done great things for me; and holy is His Name. And His mercy is upon generation after generation toward those who fear Him.” ~Luke 1:49-50
