The Treasury of David
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
11. Serve the Lord withfear. Let reverence and humility be mingled with your service. He is a great
God, and you are but puny creatures; bend, therefore, in lowly worship, and let
a filial fear mingle with all your obedience to the great Father of the ages. Rejoicewith trembling. There must ever be a holy fear mixed with the Christian’s
joy. This is a sacred compound, yielding a sweet smell, and we must see to it
that we burn no other upon the altar. Fear, without joy, is torment; and joy,
without holy fear, would be presumption. Mark the solemn argument for
reconciliation and obedience.
