Straight Outta the Bible:
   What Does It Mean to "Fear the Lord?"

 

"The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech..."
(Proverbs 8:13)

 

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight."
(Proverbs 9:10)

 

Prayer for Today

Lord, thank you for your clarity. Thank you for showing us in your word, what it means to ‘fear’ you, the Almighty God, our Father, and most loving, forgiving God we only dream of being like. Thank you for giving us an example to model ourselves after. Thank you for such a beautiful, wondrous thing as unconditional love. We, as a people, are conditional. Thank you for showing us what true love is, and what it means to ‘fear’ a loving God. Please, Lord, grab hold of all who read this. Lift them up, protect them, and make them yours. Open up the eyes of their hearts, Father. Please, give them your Spirit, and hand every one to Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
