Joy #39: Stop & Ponder

As you contemplate joy and fear (#36-38), what do you think is the difference between the fear of man and the fear of God? What makes one good and the other crippling?

Many industries and products in our society exist by capitalizing on unhealthy fear, yet “the Fear of the Lord” is often dismissed. How should Christians respond to the unhealthy, fear-inducing realities in our society? In contrast, how would you describe a healthy “Fear of the Lord”?

In light of your thoughts about fear and joy, what would you like to say to the Lord and ask of Him now?
