Tremble at God’s Word

The Prophet uttered a powerful line when he said, “I (the Lord) will look favorably on this kind of person: one who is humble, submissive in spirit, and trembles at my word.” [Is. 66:2]

Parents are wise to cultivate within their children a supreme respect for God’s Word. Pastors are wise to teach and model a reverence for God’s Word. Many ask the congregation to rise to their feet when the scriptural text for the sermon is read. After all, heaven and earth will pass away, but God’s Word will endure forever.

The greatest way to honor God’s Word is to live in it … reading and studying it on a daily basis. It’s our daily bread.

READ/LISTEN: Is. 64-66
