DIVINE STEAMROLLER

“The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate,” Proverbs 8:13 (ESV). The “fear of God” is not frightful quaking in His Presence or worry-driven obedience to His Will. The fear of God is to love and honor Him above all other things, especially oneself. Oil and water do not mix, nor does godliness (godlikeness) and worldliness. Our role as Lovers of God is not simply pointing to what is wrong in this world, it is for us to illustrate what redemption looks like. We can be fully functional “in this world’ while not being “of this world”. Pure motives, driven by godly morals and delivered in unselfish love is a divine steamroller, crushing foolish arguments, pulverizing false precepts and preparing the ground for what God wants to construct. Father make me an instrument of Your amazing love and use me to reflect your resplendent Light to all I meet.
