Living in Fear of God
One kind of God's sentence for sinful man is the loss of God's glory and God's favor over his life. It happened in the story of King Rehoboam. He was the son of Solomon who "let" the kingdom of Judah commit sin. What were the sins of the kingdom of Judah? Verses 23-24 described the idolatry and idolatry which was mixed with sexual sin into worship. This sin defiled the promised land, for the presence and the name of God was there. That's why God punished them, this implied that the people of Israel had lost the glory of God.
The act of sin that we committed surely has consequences and could lead us to God's judgment. The real judgment of God is the loss of the glory and favor of God in a person. The source of the destruction of a life is when worshipping God is no longer become a priority. Never turn away from living in fear of God. For our strength as believers is fear of God, there is no compromise in it.
The worst position in human life is when we are separated from God and the loss of God's embracement. Because if it all happens then the family, work, education, health or whatever it will be slowly destroyed. Continue to life closely to God, so that our souls won’t be perished in separation with God.
Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.(Psalm 34: 9)
