08/13/2020 – Day 081 Psalm 33 – 35 : Awe for the Creator / Fear of the Lord cannot be separated from the goodness of God
Footnote summary commentaries are from the “Evidence Study Bible” – NKJV:
Psalm 33: 8 : “Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast”
My footnote reads:
“Science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. The source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion. To this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is , comprehensible to reason. I cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith.” Albert Einstein
Psalm 34: 8,9: “Oh, taste and see that, the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh fear the Lord you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.
and the footnote comments and points to New Testament scripture connection:
“The goodness of God cannot be separated from the fear of the Lord. Those who maintain that is is the ‘goodness of God’ that leads to repentence, and therefore we need only speak of his goodness, need to study the context of Romans 2: 3-11. (day #007 of our study)
