Fear of the Lord

Fear of the Lord

The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility (Proverbs 15:33).

"The fear of the Lord" is mentioned 12 times in Proverbs. They are - 1:7, 2:5, 8:13, 9:10, 10:27, 14:2, 14:27, 15:33, 19:23, 14:26, 15:16, 23:17.

We have the fear of the Lord not only when we read and meditate on His word but also when when get words of wisdom from the elders in the Body of Christ who walk in the truth.

We will definitely get honor from the people of this world when we learn to humble ourselves before God and men. Without humility, we will never get honor in this world. Arrogance prevents us from receiving the best blessings from the Lord and honor due from men. When someone says he or she knows everything and does not need the instruction of wisdom from other members of the Body of Christ, he or she does not have the fear of the Lord.
