Not fear but fearful

To me there is something infinitely beautiful about sunrises. It may seem trite but it is as if the dawning of a new day allows me to put the struggles of yesterday behind me and provide hope for today. Like I said trite but true.

However I came upon this scripture this morning which may be why sunrises have a special place in me and many others:

‘The one who rules righteously,
who rules in the fear of God,
is like the light of morning at sunrise,
like a morning without clouds,
like the gleaming of the sun
on new grass after rain.’

and look what the dictionary has to say about the word 'fear'

reverential awe, especially toward God: Synonyms: awe, respect, reverence, veneration.

So my God, is one I fear but I am not afraid. I simply stand in awe of His magnificence.
