Deuteronomy 6:24
"And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day."
The fear of the Lord is part of the redemption process. The fear mentioned in the above passage is reverential fear of God. It is the fear that inspires us to put God first in all that we do. It is the fear of God that encourages us to willingly comply with the statutes of God. When we fear the Lord, and serve the people; brethren it is for our good always.
The Psalmist accurately portrayed the point of reverential fear of God in Psalm 119. When he wandered away from the Lord, he returned due to the reverential fear of the Lord. The Psalmist also requested that the Lord keep him and ensure that he would know the ways of His statutes until the end of his life.
Brethren, it is for our benefit to have the rightful kind of the fear of God. God is mindful of us and rewards us with preservation of life among other things. God will not allow any evil hands to touch us. In the days of the Bible people that feared the Lord enjoyed peace and joy of the Lord as well as long lives, because God provided for all things needed to preserve them. God still remains unchanged. He still rewards reverential attitudes until today. Humble yourself and it will be quite easy with the help of the Holy Spirit to fear the Lord. Amen.
Prayer points for the day
Have a blessed and wonderful day!
