Whom Do You Fear?

The Lord or man?

Psalm 86:11 
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

The Fear of the Lord is:
To obey His voice
The beginning of  knowledge
Wisdom and knowing to depart from evil
Where you find the Knowledge of God
To hate evil, pride, arrogance, evil ways and filthy mouths
The way to prolong our days
A place of confidence in the Lord
A fountain of life
keeps us from the snares of death
is needed before instruction and wisdom
Is the instruction of wisdom
Keeps us from evil
Where our heart should be all day- not envying sinners
One of the seven fold spirits of the Lord
gives quick godly understanding
Our treasure= through which we receive wisdom and understanding which results in stability and strength of salvation
A Precious Key for our churches
Prepares you for the Lord’s teaching
To delight in His commands
rewarded with blessings
Keeps you safe prov 29:25
To fear God is to trust Him
Our duty in Life – To fear God and keep His commands
reminds us not to Trust in mans words or to be swayed by the countenance of others
keeps us from fearing man
the spirit of the Lord that the Lord is searching for within us
To trust in His Ways, not our own ways
To hope in His Mercy
in that which the Lord delights to see in His people
The Lord taketh pleasure in those who fear Him
There is no want to those who fear Him
The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him! A key of our protection and deliverance in troubles because the angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them

To Fear Man:
is to lack knowledge and wisdom
is to be wise in your own eyes (Saul’s downfall)
is a snare and a trap in your life
the sign of a fool
is to despise wisdom and instruction
is to love evil
will shorten your days
is trouble
envy sinners
is to not honor God’s laws or commands
is to despise God’s ways
despise the Lord
trust your own ways

Abba, Father, please strengthen and encourage each of us today. May You make us bold witnesses for Jesus. We ask You to teach us Your Ways and to pray Your Will be done! In Jesus Name. Amen
