God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
On one side, the fear of the Lord does indeed mean a terror of God (threat-fear). We are unclean people, and we appear before the Almighty God who is morally pure. We are rightly ashamed before Him, and punishment would be completely just… But at the other end…is a fear reserved exclusively for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. This fear of the Lord means reverent submission that leads to obedience, and it is interchangeable with “worship,” “rely on ,” “trust,” and “hope in.” Like terror, it includes a knowledge of our sinfulness and God’s moral purity, and it includes a clear-eyed knowledge of God’s justice and his anger against sin. But this worship-fear also knows God’s great forgiveness, mercy, and love. It knows that because God’s eternal plan, Jesus humbled himself by dying on a cross to redeem his enemies from slavery and death. It knows that, in our relationship with God, he always says “I love you” first. This knowledge draws us closer to God rather than causing us to flee. It causes us to submit gladly to His lordship and delight in obedience. This kind of robust fear is the pinnacle of our response to God.

INSTRUCTIONS
PATTI - VDRJ67A
In heavy saucepan on low heat, melt broken chocolate with butter, stirring
constantly until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in corn syrup and rum.
Place torte upside down on a rack over tray to catch excess glaze. Spread a
very thin layer of glaze over top and sides of torte to set surface. Chill
15 minutes to firm glaze. Reheat remaining glaze to thin and pour over top
and sides of torte. When glaze is firm, remove cake from rack to large
plate. Decorate top and sides with shaved chocolate, if desired. For shiny
glaze, store cake at room temperature until serving time.
