My Pondering
This verse succinctly sums up the dichotomy of life. For those not intimate with Scripture; having a healthy awesome respectful fear of God almighty is a highly recommended ‘suggestion’ throughout. Doing otherwise subject one to great and unnecessary sustaining peril.
While at the very same, we are called to hope, wait and be patient. To trust in and love God regardless of our circumstance.
This is a great paradox and duality that runs through life.
