People sometimes misconstrue what is meant by the expression “the fear of the Lord.” God does not want us to be afraid of Him. He does want us to live our lives with the understanding that He is the Lord of all Creation. To share this understanding is to live our lives with a reverent regard for what He approves and disapproves. This kind of reverence will direct us to make wise choices. Character is nurtured from such choices.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Prov. 9.10 Conversations Within” ts 6/18/2021
