YOU ALONE ARE TO BE FEARED

Passage: Psalm 76:1~12  

Key verse: 7a


1. Who can stand before the God of Israel? (1-10)

God's people know that he is great, for they have seen his mighty works. He is glorious and majestic, resplendent with light. He breaks the weapons of the enemy. Enemy warriors, no matter how valiant, perish at his rebuke. He alone is the one-to be feared. When he rises up to judge, the land waits in silence. His judgment not only punishes the wicked; it saves the afflicted and helpless. The survivors of his wrath, the remnant, know and fear him.

2. Gifts for the one-to be feared (11-12)

To fear God means to love and respect him. When we fear the Lord, we are set free from fear of men. Those who fear God must make vows to him and keep them; we must share the knowledge of God with the world, so that all people may fear God and worship him. People who fear and honor God must bring him gifts.


Prayer: Lord, let every knee bow before you and every tongue confess your name. Teach all people to fear and serve you.

One Word: Fear God; keep your vow
