Who is the man that fears the Lord? —Psalm 25:12
Are we obsessed by God? If not, why not? If we are not obsessed by God we probably have a limited view of Him. Jesus realized this was a problem as He came close to the end of His ministry. His disciples did not have a complete view of Him. So He took His closest disciples to the top of a mountain and there was transfigured before them. They caught just a glimpse of His glory. It was a glimpse that would get them through many tough times ahead, including, for most, martyrdom.
If we are obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives— not concerns, nor tribulation, nor worries. And now we understand why our Lord so emphasized the sin of worrying. How can we dare to be so absolutely unbelieving when God totally surrounds us? To be obsessed by God is to have an effective barricade against all the assaults of the enemy. Fear of the Lord, wipes out all other fear and worry and concern. It is the one great fear.
Heavenly Father, grant us enough of a view of your Glory that we can become obsessed by You, Our God, and being so obsessed and focused no trash will get into our lives. May our fear of you drive out all other fear and distraction.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Be blessed.
