It
seems we’ve exchanged the fear of God
For
fear of man
Instead
of fearing what God can do
We
are afraid of what man will say
We
choose to forget that God is Holy, Holy, Holy
Fail
to call sinful what God has declared sin
We
no longer have reverence and awe of God
Fail
to declare His Word with authority
Instead
of loving God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength
We
desire the approval of man
Instead
of worshipping God and feeding the flock
Churches
have become places where the ungodly are not confronted about sin and
repentance
Lord,
forgive us for dialing down Your Word
Protecting
people from the Sword of the Spirit
Forgive
us for being harsh and unforgiving
Where
You abound in mercy and grace
Lord,
restore in us a reverence and awe of You
May
we fear You Lord and begin to gain wisdom

Even
though it’s Saturday I wanted to participate in Lisa-Jo Baker’s Five MinuteFriday writing challenge. Head over to
her website “Lisa Jo Baker Tales from a Gypsy Mama”. Be sure to read some of the entries from
other writers. I can promise you that
you will be blessed.
