Does the idea of trembling before the Lord inspire you or make you feel uncomfortable? Lauren Daigle's song "Tremble" inspired me to explore where people are described as trembling before the Lord. Spoiler alert: It should inspire you.
Join me as we examine a couple of places in Scripture where we see why and how we should tremble before the Lord.
In this episode, I discuss:
