When his Joseph’s brothers from Canaan came to him in Egypt, he resisted the temptation to kill them in revenge against them, because he feared God.
He told them:
« … you will live, for I fear God. »(Genesis 42:18)
To fear God is not to be afraid of him, it is rather to adopt an attitude of respect and submission to God.
It is this respect and submission to God that prompts us to avoid doing all evil because we know very well that our God hates evil.
Let’s fear God.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, grant us to avoid doing what you hate.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
Apostle Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA
