“Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:11-12
No one wants to hear about the anger of God. We have been taught by Christianity that God is compassionate, loving and forgives all sin.
Christianity overlooks the character of retribution in the heart of God. Sin does not go unpunished! You and I are accountable to God for all our actions.
Moses understands the personality of God. He has witnessed the power of God’s anger and the relationship between the fear of God and His anger towards humanity.
The fear of the Lord is worshipping God for who He is and making Jesus the centerpiece of your life. It is living in oneness with God through His Spirit. God is a Spirit and we must worship Him in Spirit and Truth.
Moses admonishes believers to number each day in your life as a precious gift from God. Life is short so pray for a heart of wisdom.
Commit your works each day to God and ask Him to guide your footsteps. This is acknowledging the fear of God and the desire to be in the center of His will.
Dwell with God through His Spirit. Seek His voice out every day of your life. This act is an expression of your fear of the Lord and the importance of living in communion with the Living God.
