Psalm 128

Justice......................................................................................................Grace

so far apart
what we deserve and in Christ what we receive
the gap

Psalm 128: 1-2 All you who fear God, how blessed you are! how happily you walk on his smooth straight road!
You worked hard and deserve all you've got coming.
Enjoy the blessing! Revel in the goodness!

fear of the Lord is the beginning of understanding....comes to me
Msg. Proverbs 1:7 Start with God—the first step in learning is bowing down to God;
only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.
Amp. 7The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning and the principal and choice part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; but fools despise skillful and godly Wisdom, instruction, and discipline.(A)
Justice...............................................................................................................Grace
so far apart ~ to fear the Lord, this, this gap is important to know?!

i didn't fear You, because i didn't know either one, justice or grace
i lived for me
oblivious
oblivion turned to stubborn rebellion?
stubborn rebellion and fear, but not fear of You

i was afraid
afraid and FEAR of the Lord are different
without Christ i am still afraid....of everything
and yet
in a fear of God i am blessed out of oblivion....
out of oblivion comes a call to obedience....

Justice...............................................................................................................Grace
so far apart
what we deserve ................................................................ what we receive in Christ
do people know, does my Daddy know, there is such a HUGE gap?
how do we help someone come out of oblivion without scaring them to death?
scaring them and THEN throwing them the life preserve JESUS
it's the life preserver that saves them NOT the one who throws it
how to live in FEAR
AWE
so my precious Grands.....it's not about me or you....us....it's about HIM who saves and IF we live dependent that is all we can do......

love you all gigi
