This is the only proper
attitude of the creature toward the Creator, the Author of our
being, and the Creator, Preserver and Lord of the whole universe.
When He speaks, therefore, our ears should be reverently attentive
to His voice, and every power alert to do His bidding. Our safety,
our happiness, and that nobility of character which prompts to love
and gratitude, and which promptly and wisely heeds instruction and
advances in knowledge and wisdom, all depend primarily upon our
supreme reverence for the Lord. And therefore the Lord would foster
and cultivate in us that becoming filial reverence that is due to
His name. |
