Five ingredients for fear!

“Let the Lord’s people show him reverence, for those who honor him will have all they need.” Psalm 34:9

Yesterday we looked at what it means to fear the Lord; today we are going to look at how we fear the Lord.

How do we fear the Lord; by showing Him true genuine reverence. Let me put it this way, by showing Him true respect and honor with a humble attitude and genuine worship.
Okay not that hard right; “Umm no, no” as my three year old says. It is hard especially when we are never in the word of God, especially when we have conformed to the ways of the world and our surrounding environment.

Oh, but God is so good and He gives us five very specific ways to fear Him in the book of Psalm 34:11-14 “Come, my children, and listen to me, and I will teach you to fear the Lord. Do any of you want to live a life that is long and good? Then watch your tongue! Keep your lips from telling lies! Turn away from evil and do good. Work hard at living in peace with others.”

1. Listen

2. Watch your tongue

3. Keep your lips from telling lies!

4. Turn away from evil and do good.

5. Work hard at living in peace with others.

Specific enough! Isn’t that great! Store this verse in your heart and ask the Lord to keep it fresh on your mind. The more and more you apply it the more knowledge and wisdom you will gain. Isn’t it just so exciting? What an amazing God we serve!

Prayer; Jesus thank you thank you for making Your word plain to all who want to hear and clear to all who seek to understand. May we write these words deep in our hearts and apply all that we learn. In Jesus name Amen
