Knowledge, wisdom, instruction and blessing arise out of the fear of the Lord. (Job 28:28, Ps 111:10, Prov 1:7, 9:10, 15:33, Isaiah 11:2, 33:6, Micah 6:9) There are so many passages in Scripture that command God's people to fear Him. Indeed it could be said that all of Scripture is pointing people to fear God, the Maker of heaven and earth. We know that this fear is not just of paralyzing dread but also one of respect, to be submissive to God's authority as Creator. Let us fear God, that we might keep His commandments. Maybe I don't fear Him enough.
Do not let your heart envy sinners,
But live in the fear of the LORD always.
Proverbs 23:17
How blessed is the man who fears always,
But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
Proverbs 28:14
