Fear the Lord

Proverbs 14
 26 Those who fear the Lord are secure;
      he will be a refuge for their children.

 27 Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain;
      it offers escape from the snares of death.

We have all but forgotten this notion of fearing the Lord in 21st century America. There is very little respect given to the Creator of heaven and earth. We no longer revere the Name of our Heavenly Father. There is no fear for the Righteous and Holy Judge. I say this to our shame. Fear of the Lord must be restored so that we can have the proper relationship with Him. Yes, He loves us more deeply than we can fathom, but He is first and foremost a Holy, Righteous God Who is worthy of our respect, loyalty, and fear!
