THE FEAR OF THE LORD
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. Job 28:28
Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. Psalm 33:8
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; Psalm 33:18
The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. Psalm 34:7
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Psalm 34:11
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. Psalm 96:9
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; Psalm 103:17
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Psalm 111:10
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: Isaiah 11:1-3
We have nothing if we do not have the fear of the Lord. This is so essential to all knowledge and understanding. Let us learn it and let us be sure to teach the fear of the Lord to our children!
