My pastor friend Gerry and I have been chatting about the fear of the Lord.
I know that fear of the sword makes a person flee, but fear of the Lord makes a person see. But beyond that… I am open to learning.
Today the Psalmist reminds me:
Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack!
Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Psalm 34.9; 34.11
I am listening.
