Many, many people in this world live with many kinds of fear. That’s not good. In fact, it’s destructive.  However, there is one fear that everyone needs to have…and it’s a good fear. It’s called “the fear of the Lord.” Proverbs 9:10 tells us that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. ”  Psalm 128:1 assures us that “Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord”…who reverences God and trusts in His Son, Jesus, for salvation…and that’s an eternally, spiritually, healthy fear that everyone needs. Romans 8:1 says that, “There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus”…an, therein, lies complete deliverance from all of that destructive fear.

 

“I believe that the reverential fear of God mixed with love and fascination and astonishment and admiration and devotion is the most enjoyable state and the most purifying emotion the human soul can know.” ~ A.W. Tozer

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
