Isaiah writes in chapter 33 “The fear of the Lord will be your treasure.” David says that God’s unfailing love toward those that fear Him is as great as the heavens above the earth. John Bevere writes that there are two kinds of fears. Good and destructive fear. Bad fears is like the fear of falling of a cliff or burning your hand over an open fire. If this type of fear rules us we will never go for a walk or cook something.
The fear of God is not the type where we are afraid of Him that He will destroy us. It is the reverent fear of respect to live our lives in such a way that we make Him proud. The fear of doing something wrong that will grieve the Holy Spirit. The fear of sin and to walk away from sin out of love, respect and fear of God.
This is why Isaiah says the fear of the Lord is your treasure. In this lies healing, strength, victory, content, wisdom, forgiveness, repent and complete salvation. It is so important that we fully comprehend this and live by it. My dear friend, I might come back to this a few times because it is vital that we understand and apply this principle in our lives so that we can live in the abundance of God’s grace.
Have an awesome day.
