13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts. Psalm 103:13-18
Do you have compassion? We all say we do in some manner, but do we really? It is comforting to know that our God has compassion for us, because he knows how we were formed, but we really do need to fear Him. Do you fear God, not the afraid fear, but the respectful fear of your father in Heaven. I know growing up there were certain times when I was afraid of my father, but it was a respectful fear because I knew he loved me. Not everyone has had that here on earth, in fact there are people who truly had to fear their fathers or other people in their life. We don't have to be afraid of God, or afraid for our lives, because as long as we have a respectful fear of our Father in Heaven, He will have compassion for us and protect us. That should be a comfort for all of us.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
