Why should I fear God?

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.” Psalm 111:10

The fear of the Lord is to wake up each day and realize the first thing you must do is go to the Lord. It is a recognition of how great God is and how insignificant you are in this world.

It is a deep understanding that you lack the ability on your own to have a successful day and you need the wisdom, strength, and protection of God.

You recognize the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God and will lead you astray. You desire the perfect wisdom from above that is filled with truth, mercy, and justice.

It is about filling an inner void through prayer, the Word, and listening to the leading of His voice. This will ordain your day and lead you into the path of God.

Following God has nothing to do with religion. It is a sincere desire to live a life pleasing to Him. God wants to take your education, special gifts, and experiences and use them to glorify Him and to give you an abundant life.

God deserves your eternal praise because He has given you an inheritance of all His blessings. He desires to give you more than you ask or think.

The fear of the Lord is extolling God for His greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty!
