FEAR OF THE LORD (Part #3)

FEAR OF THE LORD (Part #3)

"The fear of the Lord is the continual awareness that God knows, weighs and sees every one of my thoughts, deeds, words, and actions." -- Bill Gothard.

I did a search through the Scriptures and want to share with you 24 benefits of fearing the Lord. I will share 12 today and 12 tomorrow.

1. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).
2. The fear of the Lord results in serving God in sincerity and truth (Joshua 24:14).
3. The fear of the Lord will result in serving God with a whole heart. (1 Samuel 12:24)
4. The Lord instructs those who serve the Lord. (Psalm 25:12)
5. Prosperity will abide in those who fear the Lord. (Psalm 25:13)
6. The descendants of those who fear the Lord will inherit the land. (Psalm 25:13)
7. God reveals secrets to those who fear Him. (Proverbs 3:32b)
8. Goodness is laid up for those who fear Him. (Proverbs 31:19-20)
9. God's eye is on those who fear the Lord. (Proverbs 33:18)

11. God blesses us so that other will fear Him. (Psalm 67:7)
12. God has compassion on those who fear Him. (Psalm 103:13)

I encourage you to take some time to look up these verses and search the Scriptures. It will be a good study for you.

GREAT QUOTE: It is a glorious thing to know that your Father God makes no mistakes in directing or permitting that which crosses the path of your life. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter. It is our glory to trust him, no matter what. Joni Eareckson Tada
