Psalm 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

The love of God is truly wonderful. Yet we must never forget His almighty power and holiness that sets Him far apart from all Creation. Even the mighty archangels, the cherubim and the seraphim, are far removed from the eternal power of God. 

Knowing this, we must never become complacent in our approach to the throne of God. Though we are called to come boldly before His throne, we are to never lose our reverence of His almighty power and glory. Much like in The Chronicles of Narnia, where the children ask if Aslan, the great king lion of the realm, is ‘safe’? The response from the animals of Narnia is a bewildered, ‘Is he safe? He’s a lion! But he is good’. So too is our Lord Jesus. The great Alpha and Omega, the Judge of all Creation, the Lord of Hosts. Yet He is also the friend of sinners such as we.

In remembrance of these eternal truths, we are to serve God. With earnestness and rejoicing yes, for through Christ Jesus, we are made children unto God. Yet we are to never lose that awe filled reverence of His almighty nature. For it is by that almighty power and authority, that we are redeemed from our sins. And in His eternal grace, we are lifted up to glory in Christ Jesus forevermore. Amen.
