Fear of the Lord

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."
            Psalm 111:10 NASB

"Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones."
              Prov. 3:7-8 NASB







Fear of the Lord is:

                      Strong Reverence for God

                                         Great Respect for His Ways

                                                          and  Deeply Understanding that He is

                                                     GREATEST

                                           STRONGEST

                                           HIGHEST

to the point of evoking

                     WORSHIP

                                 OBEDIENCE

                                           and        ALLEGIANCE 

                                                                                 to HIM!!!!!

In fearing God, self is restrained by a healthy fright of the consequences of rebellion against


                                                                GOD.

"HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is the Lord God the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come...Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created."
                                        Revelation 4:8,11 NASB
