(Prov 8:13 NKJV) The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.
People may say, “why should we fear the Lord if He is Loving and compassionate and willing to help us in our situations and forgive us?”
But I feel like this scripture clarifies it a bit…it’s not that we fear Him, so to speak, but we should fear the things that He dislikes; the things He tells us to steer clear of. Oh how it helps us when we pay attention to details. Pride and arrogance He puts in the same boat as evil, right along with the perverse MOUTH!!
We cannot confuse fearing God with being afraid to go to Him and share the things we’ve done wrong so that we may receive forgiveness and strength to overcome!
Be fearful of what these things can do to us if we DON’T go to Him and admit it and get help.
God is a Good GOD, willing to help and strengthen us to do better, that we may conquer and defeat the enemy!!
