Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, him shall he keep in his way. Praise the Lord!

Many people are still not clear about the tem “the fear of the Lord”. Many believe that to fear the Lord means to be afraid of him, but, when we read about the fear of the Lord, it means to be in awe of him, to worship him, to esteem him, to reverence him and to follow his commandments. Scripture reminds us, that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. We read in Psalm 24; “Who is the man who fears the Lord?” Him shall he teach in the way he chooses, he himself shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the earth, the secret of the Lord is with those who fear him and he will show them his covenant. Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he teaches sinners in the way. The humble he guides in justice. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, to such as keep his commandments.” Dear Lord, I am so thankful that I fear you, daily teach me in the way I should go, keep me from presumptuous sins, and lead me in the paths of righteousness, so that it may be well with me Amen!
