The Benefits Of The Fear Of The Lord

Scriptures

Who is the man that fears the LORD?

Him shall HE teach in the way HE chooses.

Psalms 25:14

The secret of the LORD is with those who fear HIM,

And HE will show them HIS covenant.

Supporting Scriptures

 Proverbs 9:10

 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy ONE is understanding”.

This is a psalms of 22 verses. Its theme appears to be that of a cry for GOD’s mercy and forgiveness as a way out of the many afflictions the enemy has subjectecd one through.

In the midst of his plea for mercy, David discovered that to be able to hear GOD and receive direction for help, a person must fear GOD.

So even though this Psalm looks like a cry for help, it is actually telling us that the way to obtain that help is the way of fear of the LORD. A person who fears GOD will receive privileged information and obey HIS word.

This reminds of Joseph in Potiphar’s house. A prince turned slave needing all the help one can give and when Potiphar’s wife came at him to ‘help’ him out; it was the fear of GOD that restrained him.

And with time, we got to know how that fear of GOD made him endure difficult times and also led him into acquiring experience and wisdom that made him end up a great man.

It was the same fear that kept David from killing King Saul, even though it looked like the best thing to do if he needed an end to his afflictions. He was willing to wait on the LORD for GOD’s perfect intervention.

Take Away

The fear iof the LORD is the beginning of Godly wisdom needed to navigate troubled time. HIS fear teaches you to trust in HIM and wait for HIS perfect timing.

And in HIS time, HE is sure to make all things beautiful.

Prayer Points

1. Dear LORD, teach me your fear

2. Help me to keep my eyes on you no matter what may be.

3. Have mercy upon me oh LORD and forgive me of all my iniquities.
