Causes me to meditate on what I think I know. Changing my perspective and my thoughts on our awesome God.
Description
The Bible tells us to “serve the LORD with fear” (Ps. 2:11) and that the fear of the Lord is “the beginning of wisdom” (Prov. 9:10). But what does fearing God mean, and how does it work itself out in our lives? In this book of meditations, David M. Cook helps us understand the fear of God as “a joyful, awestruck trembling before God.” In working through this book, you will not only find a month’s worth of devotional thoughts to help you learn what it means to fear God, but you will also be encouraged to set your heart on the benefits that fearing God brings.

“In this very accessible devotional, Pastor David Cook combines rich scriptural insight with practical reflection on a vital biblical theme. Each reading does not take too much time but provides enough thought to last the entire day! Since fearing God ‘is man’s all’ (Eccl. 12:13), then we can do no better than to reflect on that every day. Standing in Awe helps you do exactly that!”
—Nicholas G. Piotrowski, president, Indianapolis Theological Seminary
“In a culture in which the autonomy of self is the highest value rather than the authority of God, far too many believers have lost their sense of awe and reverence. This insightful devotional will help you to regain your vision of the greatness of God. My friend David Cook is an excellent pastor and clear communicator, and he leads us to the throne daily through this work!”
—Jay Strother, senior pastor, Brentwood Baptist Church, Brentwood, Tennessee
