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.

Straight Outta the Bible: And the Lame I Will Make the Remnant

 

"In that day, declares the Lord,
I will assemble the lame
and gather those who have been driven away
and those whom I have afflicted;
and the lame I will make the remnant,
and those who were cast off, a strong nation;
and the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion
from this time forth and forevermore."

(Micah 4:6-7)

Straight Outta the Bible: From All Nations & All Times

 

The Book of Revelation, chapter 1, verses 4-7 say:

 

"...All the best to you from The God Who Is, The God Who Was, and The God About to Arrive, and from the Seven Spirits assembled before his throne, and from Jesus Christ—Loyal Witness, Firstborn from the dead, Ruler of all earthly kings.
Glory and strength to Christ, who loves us,
who blood-washed our sins from our lives,
Who made us a Kingdom, Priests for his Father,
forever—and yes, he’s on his way!
Riding the clouds, he’ll be seen by every eye,
those who mocked and killed him will see him,
People from all nations and all times
will tear their clothes in lament.
Oh, Yes."

(Rev 1:4-7)(MSG)
