My brother said to me, “I think that I am afraid of God more than I fear God.” This honest statement echoed within my own soul. I contemplated the way I view God and the shallow attempts I make to appease Him in order to somehow restrain He wrath. There are things I say – or don’t say to Him – that are said out of ignorance and being afraid of Him rather than out of obedience and fearing Him. When we are afraid of God we will not be vulnerable with Him. This cowardly view of God exposes a deeper problem, and that is, that we have a finite view of our infinite God.
