Daily Bread: The Word Is Perfect

Reflection

Reverence for God is a foundational attitude for every believer. It is more than respect—it is a holy awe and deep honour for the One who created, sustains, and redeemed us.

Psalm 19:9 reminds us that the fear of the Lord is “clean,” meaning it purifies and refines our hearts. It shapes us into people who align our lives with His holiness, knowing that His Word and judgments are always true and just.

When we fear the Lord, we don’t live in terror. Instead, we live in recognition of His greatness and sovereignty. This fear prompts obedience, worship, and a heartfelt desire to please Him in all we do. It’s the kind of awe that makes us bow in humility, surrendering our will to His.

To revere God is to acknowledge His presence in our daily lives. It’s seen in how we speak, think, and act. It’s the recognition that our time, resources, and decisions are not ours alone—they are offerings to the One who deserves it all.
