[Discoveries] 01-18-08 Holy fear -- Hebrews 11:7

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear 
built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and 
became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. -- Hebrews 11:7*/

I want to focus in on the words "holy fear."

Unholy fear usually paralyzes us or causes us to do cowardly things. But 
holy fear inspired Noah to buck the crowd, to reject the consensus of 
evil, to do what no one else understood. Holy fear energized Noah with 
courage and with a plan.

His holy fear kept him afloat when the rest of the world was being 
washed away.

Holy fear is a gift from God. Like all God's gifts, it leads only to good.

Be encouraged!
