Recently, I did
the bridge-walk that sits underneath one of the highest bridges in the
country. As our group walked out over
the New River Gorge in West Virginia, we looked down some 900 feet to the river
below. It was an awesome sight, and I
mean awesome in the sense that it invoked a certain level of fear and
trembling. It took our breath away!
That is one of the ways the Bible describes
worship - it is a “fear of the LORD”. As
I stood there taking pictures, wishing the pictures could fully convey the
majesty and thrill of what we were seeing, I had this thought: “When was the
last time my thoughts of God took my breath away? When was the last time I grieved that my
words and joy would not adequately express to someone else the power of God’s
presence that I experienced?”.
It is
important for followers of Jesus to think of this “fear”, this worship of God,
and to seek the Spirit’s work in our hearts to legitimately bring us to our
knees before Him.
