Do you understand what the fear of the Lord is?

Does it mean that we should be afraid of the Lord and what He will do to us? To fear the Lord means that we should respect the Lord, to honor the Lord with our substance, to reverence the Lord, to hope in the Lord. All who fear the Lord will obey His commandments and will grow in wisdom, they will know what is good, and right, and acceptable before God, to turn away from evil and do good. My hope is that all of us when faced, with trouble, temptation, want, need, persecution, sickness and any other adversity, that we would stand up and boldly say, “ I will not do this, because I fear the Lord!”
