How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Fear God

The Prophets & Poets Mixtape

How often have we heard we are to fear God? Many of us think of God as someone to be feared – we keep our heads down and try to keep from being noticed. But when the Bible talks about fear of God it’s more about awe. What does it mean to say that the creator of the universe loves us? How does this awe transform everything from our religious practices to our daily lives?

What does it mean that God is FOR the world? Epiphany is the season that celebrates the revelation of God to the world. Epiphany asks, Who is this god who came among us? Like the mixtapes young lovers used to make, we’re listening to the songs of God’s prophets and poets because such a powerful love can really only be expressed in song. The soundtrack to God's good news is now playing!

We live in turbulent times – from endless war to a slowly recovering economy to a looming educational crisis and ineffective government. While we take care of our lives one day at a time, we can’t help but sense a storm gathering on the horizon. In this, we are much like the Jewish people who lived at the time of the prophets. Surrounded by forces outside their control, God called them to remain faithful in their daily life, to trust him to handle the big stuff. God spoke through prophets. Because their books are so short, we call them the Minor Prophets. But while their writings are short, their message has major implications for our lives today.
