Psalm 36

by Colin Dexter

Where do we stand with the fear of God?
What level of fear is healthy?
Do we know Gods encompassing love/Faithfulness/Righteousness/preservation
God can change the biggest of brutes. No-one is outside Gods love.

– He disciplines (Heb 12)
– He forgives (1 John)
– He teaches
– He fellowships (John 14)
– He has compassion
– He rejoices over us Lk 15
– He rescues us
