Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) 10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Fear. It’s a word that doesn’t get used too much these days, especially when it comes to God. It’s almost become politically incorrect to do such a thing.
But God isn’t concerned with political correctness. And neither are we. We need to speak God’s word, regardless of what’s popular.
You see, the fear of God is healthy. The word says that fearing God is the beginning of wisdom.
The fear of God will lead us to consider our choices and make them wisely. The fear of God will cause us to stop and think about what we do before we do it. And it’s not so much that we fear that God will smite us or strike us down if we do something wrong.
It’s more of a fact that we want to make choices that please Him. And when we do that, we won’t end up getting ourselves into big messes time after time.
In reality, there are two kinds of fear. The fear of man and the fear of God. If we fear man, we will be driven by choices that please the people around us, which will ultimately disappoint God.
On the other hand, if we fear God, instead of fearing man, we won’t worry about what people think of us and the choices we make will be sound, pleasing God and leading us down the path He has set before us.
So today is the day we need to choose. Who will we fear?
God, or Man?
