Day 102 Holy Fear

"Then the woman came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told Him the whole truth"  (Mark 5:38).

Smart woman.  "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Proverbs 9:10 AND Psalm 111:10 - I never realized before it says this twice!).  She knew she was in the presence of a holy God.  We now (knowing the compassionate nature of Christ) realize that her fear was unfounded, but she didn't know that.  It's okay to tremble at God's holiness.  It's not okay to tremble at sickness, worry over baby's healthy, decisions as a parent, grocery bills, etc.  Help me, Lord, to always take my fears to You and release them.  You know me so well, Lord and one day I'll stand before You, knowing You've seen all my faults and bad Mom days.  Thank You, Jesus for covering my sin with your righteousness!

Tip: Truly, worry gets you nowhere. Try and reject fear and worry and embrace hope and peace in Christ.
