Lord, we
are called to fear You - and to love You. We tend to think that fear
and love are opposites. You teach us something else, something very
different. Fear and love belong together. You are the holy God, the God
who cannot look upon our sin (Habakkuk 1:13). We fear You. You show us
our sin so that we might be brought to Jesus, our Saviour. We come to
Jesus. We learn how much You love us - and we begin to love You.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
