I am sure it would all depend on how God presents himself to us for instance what if God came to speak me or you in the form of a whirlwind ? Now if God wanted to instill fear in us , without a doubt he would .

The crowd present at Mt. Sinai were so terrified at God's presence and voice that their hearts almost failed them.

The advantage we have over that crowd is that as Christians we have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of us .

God is Awe-some ... in the true sense of the word.

Amen ! Makes me think of the Rich Mullins song .

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
