Reverence for God

Reverence for God arises from three things: 1) contemplating the divine excellency and majesty of God, 2) knowing the infinite distance we stand from Him, and 3) realizing that, despite the difference between us, God is concerned with us.  It is an unspeakable wonder that this inconceivably glorious God is pleased, from His own mercy and grace, to care about poor sinners.  If you know only the first two, the result will be a fear of God that makes you want to hide from Him, rather than a loving reverence that draws you to Him.  –Michael Stohlmeyer from Anchors of Faith

About Maureen Stohlmeyer

Grateful to have been married to my wonderful husband Michael for nearly 35 years who is now with the Lord, I would like to share from writers from the past who have strengthened our faith and walk with Jesus Christ our Savior and Redeemer. His walk with God was deeply enriched by the writings of authors from the past and I dedicate this blog to him and to them.
