Eve of All Saints: Psalm 34; Wisdom 3:1-9; Revelation 19:1, 4-10
I get nervous sometimes. Do you ever feel trepidation with certain people? Maybe your boss, someone you respect, or a famous public figure? You are not afraid exactly, just awestruck. One old hymn quotes today’s Psalm, #34: ‘Fear God, you saints, and you will then have nothing else to fear.’ Not that you should fear how God might treat you; you can always rely on God’s justice and mercy. But if you do not tremble before the maker of the universe, you may end up being unduly afraid of other, lesser powers. Courage comes from holding God in awe.
