This first Chapter is about an experience the author has at a speaking engagement, where the presence of the Lord shows up in a very tangible way! Regardless of how you may view these type of experiences, the presence of God is real. I think in general we fail miserably at sensing when He is present, therefore missing out on a blessing. As I read this account I found myself desiring to have a heart that is so open that His presence is never missed. What was your response to this Chapter? Be honest, and as you think about your answer take a minute and read Psalm 139.
On the page right before this Chapter he asks us the question: "Do you think the King of kings and Lord of lords is going to come into a place where He is not given due honor and reverence?" So, what is your answer to this question? What do you think "due honor and reverence" looks like?
I am looking forward to our journey through this book together. As you comment I will try my best to keep up and comment along with you. Use this book study as a place to discuss with me the thoughts of this author and the subject of "the fear of the Lord"!
