Fear and Faith

[James Hosie]

Faith and fear go hand in hand. When the soul looks at God’s holiness, he fears. When he look at God’s promises, he believes. A godly man trembles, yet trusts. Fear preserves reverence, faith preserves cheerfulness; fear keeps the soul from lightness, faith keeps it from overmuch sadness.

Thank you James for sharing. I was just talking about this with some fellow brothers and sisters the other day.
