What do you think the Bible means when it talks about "The Fear of the Lord"?
Today's episode is about the fear of the Lord. Have you ever asked yourself, what is the fear of the Lord? What if being afraid of God is what we're supposed to do? Let's unpack it today. Whether it's positive or negative, let's actually explore this topic more and discover what is the fear of the Lord as we talk about the Bible.
I get to talk to people about fear of the Lord all the time, and I, I really haven't focused so much on this subject in my life, and I think growing up in church. As people talk to me about it, I wasn't super curious. And so I didn't think it was a big enough topic to really explore. But what I've discovered is that the Holy Spirit has like changed my mind.
And I didn't even realize how big of a topic it was. Probably started for me in the pandemic when everybody started to be so Um, focused on being like, what's going to happen, including me, I think we all felt this onset of fear and like, what, what do we, what do we do with it? And so I went to the Bible thinking like, I'm going to discover some great mystery about how to handle my fear.
And I will just say, it's not at all what I thought it was going to be. I thought I was going to find some answers on how to combat fear and anxiety. And instead what the Lord did was help me to see that his word does not have my fear and anxiety as an object. It really wasn't the main topic. And the more I explored God's word, the more I recognized It's not even half of the topic.
It's not even a third of the topic. And so we, you know, there's a lot of these verses that people throw around. And for me, it's like, you know, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a power, love and sound mind, um, or perfect love casts out fear or, you know, there's no fear in love. Yes, those are all great verses.
And I think knowing those, I thought that's, that's the whole subject. But as I discovered, So here's what I did. I sat down and I actually studied and started to look at like every single verse that has the word fear, anxiety, worry, and I started to write them down and deconstruct this idea of like, well, what does that mean?
The Bible say about fear, just with a very open handed, open hearted approach to say, um, you know, maybe I'm missing something. And what I began to recognize, I kind of tally marked and noted and, and like made observations and groupings. And there was this one category about, you know, the kind of anxiety and fear that I'm discussing in my society.
That's like what I'm worried about. But There's this thing that I read in a, I can't even quote it or paraphrase it very well, but I'm going to reverberate it back to you. This person wrote, um, it was a scholar, but I'm not going to do them justice. So what he says essentially is that when we focus on our fear or our our anxiety, we elevate it to being equal to God, and we don't bring it under the authority of God.
And that really like changed my mind to be like, okay, this is a thing that I've placed in this perspective that isn't entirely the whole picture. So the other part is that, um, as I studied, and there are more than 300 verses in the Bible about this topic, it's like, hmm, less than 10 verses on this subject of like my personal anxiety and fear.
And then there's this one topic of fear of man that is really pertaining to like war The reality of who we should actually be afraid of and generally speaking, it's like, don't be afraid of them because God is with you. And that is a very large topic. Even still bigger than that was this fear of the Lord topic.
And it was like dominantly more than half of the subject, probably three quarters of Being afraid of God, and, you know, everybody that I've talked to is like, well, we're not supposed to be afraid of God. And that's probably the, I set out and I, I have a job where I get to talk to people a lot. And so I love to just, um, pose a question and be like, well, what do you think this means?
And really hear what people. I always think it's funny when I say, Hey, what do you think this means? And people misunderstand what I'm saying. And they think, I mean, um, explain it to me because I don't know what I'm asking. And that is, it cracks me up. I'm like, Oh, I, I actually just, I'm curious what you're thinking.
And so the very first thing, and I think it's almost like a knee jerk reaction that people will say, they'll say, Well, I don't think it means to be afraid of God. And I think before I wouldn't have even considered, like, breaking down this idea, and here we are, and people are having this knee jerk reaction, and I'm like, well, what is that?
Why are people just automatically, almost like rejecting the word itself and what it actually means, fear? And so, as I began to study and unpack it, it's like This thing that we can't wrap our brain around. I would say as we study another culture in another language, there's definitely some, um, realistic language barriers because in So the Bible is written in a couple of different languages.
So the Old Testament's pretty dominantly Hebrew. The New Testament's pretty dominantly Greek. And so when you're converting it into English, you're taking multiple languages and converting them to English. then. There are, you know, we have words like fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, Um, fear less, you know, we have like compound words or words that are parts of other words.
And, and so it's not just exclusively one word, but there are 36 different words from other languages being converted into very few words in the English language, mostly the word fear or afraid, um, trouble, anxiety, worry. And so. And it is very difficult to distinguish this topic when you've got so many different verses.
So the other way that we begin to break it down is to like construct a picture. And I would love to sort of give you a little case study here so that you can see how we build a case study. So because you are. You speak English and you know the word love and what it means in your own experiences. I want to just propose to you, if you were, if you were facing somebody who was studying the word love from another language and you were trying to explain it to them, you would basically have these three areas and that is familial, romantic, and romantic.
and friendship. And so let's just say that you are writing it out and somebody was reading what you were writing and they only read about friendship and then they ran with it and they said this is what love is and they took just a portion of that and they decided entirely and they were teaching other people like this is what love is and so they They took the word love and they only took one facet of it and they, they, they allowed that to be their whole information.
So, Obviously, like, friendship love and romantic love are not the same thing, but when we put them together, we can see the distinctions and the differences. And familial love is certainly not the same thing as romantic or, uh, Sometimes it can overlap with friendship, but it's certainly a much deeper and a much stronger kind of love than friendship.
So you need all three in comparison with each other to really see the kind of love that is a full picture and to see all the differences. So I would say. As we discuss the fear of the Lord, we are going to sort of look at these different parts and consider that they're part of a bigger facet. I hope that that helps you to see it's not just this topic, but like that's how we'd study a different language.
And that's how we really surmise all the different parts that are going on in the story, because fear of the Lord is a huge topic. We can't just unpack it in one conversation. So first we have Solomon and Solomon is One of the wisest Kings, he's the third King of Israel. And he essentially King Solomon asked God for wisdom and God gives it to him.
God says Solomon was one of the, was the wisest man. So Solomon has this to say, fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. His dad says, fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. So is that negative? No, that sounds positive. Fear the Lord's a good thing. It's a, it's a, it's a scratch and a sniff on the way to wisdom.
It's gonna be an indicator I'm heading in the right direction to find wisdom. Okay, so I'm in the store today and this kid who, I was in a very loud store, this kid turns around and he starts quoting a scripture verse to me and I wasn't even talking to him. He's seven years old and I got down on my knees and listened to him and I smiled in his face and I was like, thank you.
But he had been, um, memorizing this verse and. I'm going to read it to you because I just felt like it was a word from the Lord for me today. And it's a word from the Lord for all of us. It's from Psalms 34 verses 8 through 11. It says, Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who trusts in him.
Fear the Lord, you his saints. Did you hear that? Fear the Lord. There is no want to those who fear him. The young lions lack and suffer, suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Come you children, listen to me and I will teach you the fear of the Lord. This is something that is over and over and over and in the Bible.
And I think, how do we know what it is and how do we get a hold of it? How do we learn it? You know, these are really powerful questions. And I think We're just unpacking small bits of it. Um, one story that I can think of just off the top of my head, I don't know the reference for it, but it's this place where it says that fear of the Lord fell on them and they did not make war.
with Israel, and so these are the enemies of God's people, and it says that fear of the Lord fell on them, and they stopped fighting with God's people, they were in fear of God's power and his ability to protect his people, and if you think about the story of Jericho and, um, Rahab, like, there was this, um, Rumor of what God had done and Rahab was compelled by that rumor because God's power was like making its way around people were aware of the things that God had demonstrated his power for his people.
And so that compelled Rahab to Um, change sides and to defend the people of God as they came in, the spies snuck into her city and she hid them and she was like, take me with you because she had heard the stories about this God who was so powerful.
It's a really difficult question to answer if I'm asking the question, what is the fear of the Lord? And so I would like to reserve that question as a continuing question. What is the fear of the Lord? I did find a Description that I like and that is in Vines New Testament dictionary there are several different parts of speech that the fear the Lord can be, it's far as like a noun and adverb, you know, anyways, this particular one Phobos, it says, it is a a flight from being scared, fear that banishes the terror that shrinks from his presence.
I'm going to read that again. It's a fear that banishes the terror that shrinks from his presence. Presence that's in the vine soon testament dictionary under one of the descriptions for fear of the Lord but there's a couple scripture references and They come at Pentecost and it says fear came upon every soul And many wonders and signs were done.
That's an Acts two in Romans. It says, you did not receive a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption by whom you cry, Abba, father, there's multiple places where we're going to find fear and lots of different pictures. And so I think we're, we're constructing this picture to say, what is fear of the Lord and.
I think it's also hard because we're living in a society where it's so different from the time of the Bible in the Bible they had, you know, it's, it reminds me of like movies with kings and castles when, when there was like territories and war and, um, you know, people lived in a village and they knew that if they lived off by themselves, then they would be would be destroyed.
They would easily be overpowered. So they needed to be governed by, um, a king or a stronger entity than themselves. And they knew that they needed to be together with a community, that they wouldn't be safe if they were alone. And in today's society, we have a completely opposite picture. Like, I always think, gosh, I just want to move out in the woods and be alone.
And that sounds so good, but it isn't. There was a certain safety that was, um, they didn't have the option to just go off and be alone because, um, so many people were at war. There was just these smaller people groups. and they would constantly try to overpower the other people groups. And that was just a reality that they lived with.
And so in order to recognize this thing that we can't understand, I think part of it is jumping back to the times when it's written. And that is seeing this picture and saying like, Okay, so they were afraid of the power of the, the king, right? And the king would either protect them and fight for them, or the other kings that were not their kings would come and overpower them and they would have to become slaves.
And so what we find is a lot of the language around fear of the Lord has to do with serving. And so even in the story of Jonah, we, we hear Jonah say, When he, they say, who are you? He says, I fear the Lord. And so it's like a distinction of like, who you belong to is the one who you fear. And so we don't have a, we don't have anything to gain traction in our economy of how we live to say, like, who do you belong to?
Who's your boss? We don't have that. And so if I'm saying to you like, who are you? You're like. Well, I'm Sarah. Like, what authority, what, um, you know, team, I guess, would be the, the closest thing? You know, who do you work for? What team are you on? Those are the things that we identify with in our culture to say who you belong to.
And, um, It's a sign of like power to say, I, I belong to this person. I serve this person. And so you would see these times when they would be questioned and they would say, not just I serve this person, but also, um, I fear them. It's a way in the ancient world of, of recognizing who you belong to, whose authority you're under.
So here we have a little part of the picture, and there's so many parts. That's why this ongoing topic has to be a building topic. I can jump to some analogy and I can say it's like this, but I want you to see according to the Word of God, there's this really important thing. So here's one of my favorite parts that I think is so wild and it really is gonna shoot straight to the heart.
In Jude chapter 12, or I mean Jude, there's only one chapter, so verse 12 says, These are spots at love feasts without fear. Oh, it's talking about people, people without fear, serving only themselves. So these are people who did not fear God. And so it's showing that they serve themselves. This is a very tiny, um, clue, but it's so important.
So when you fear the Lord, you serve him. When you. Do not fear the Lord. In this, it's indicating people who do not fear the Lord, they serve themselves. Jesus also had godly fear, it says. As in, fear of the Lord. He was God, but he, I don't know, this is perplexing, but I'm just saying, it's part of the story.
In Hebrews 5, it says When he had offered up prayers and supplication with cries and tears to him who was able to save him from death and was heard because of his godly fear. There's another story where Jesus touches a casket and, um, and there's a funeral procession and the man comes back to life and says, uh, the fear of the Lord fell on the, the crowd, the audience, and it says that they began to glorify God.
So In each of these stories, it's like, it tells us something. Fear the Lord comes on people, and it causes them to do something. It moves them in some direction, whether it's towards God, away from God, um, there's a story where fear comes, fear the Lord falls on God's people, and it unites them in purpose, and I don't know, we're just taking these pieces and we're putting them together.
You know, it's like a little kid's puzzle and we're just, as we add a piece, it creates a whole picture. I heard an analogy from a friend that's like, um, there's these Four blind guys and each of them is holding on to a piece of, uh, elephant and he's trying to describe what an elephant is. Have you heard this story?
It's like one guy's holding on to the tail and he's like, The elephant is like this and another guy's holding on to a leg and he's saying an elephant No an elephant is like this and another is holding on to the trunk and says an Elephant is like this and another guy is holding on to an ear and he says an elephant is like this And I think we have to recognize we can't see the whole picture by ourselves And we have we can't be so naive to say fear the Lord's just this I think You It is reverence, but he's calling it fear.
And so can we make room for this discussion to say, perhaps it is being afraid of God on some level, maybe it's not even afraid in the way I understand afraid, maybe it's an afraid, that's like a healthy fear. Okay, so let's go there for a second. Are there things that you can have a healthy fear of? Like, when my kids were little, I, when my oldest daughter was little, I lived on a really busy street.
And I remember just being like, I have to teach her that she cannot run into the road. Like, I would spank her. I hope that's not going to get me in trouble here, but I, I was so afraid that she would not understand that the road was dangerous, that I wanted to like, give her a respect for the road, you know, so that she wouldn't approach it.
That's, you know, okay, I'm going to change the subject here. Because I think that one's a little bit hard for us to wrap our brains around sometimes. Um, we, we tend to just go on the side of the adult there, but what about, um, I was at the ocean last week and man, the ocean is so powerful. I had somebody describe it to me as, as like being in, in the surf and surfing.
And I'm certainly not a surfer, but if you stand at the ocean and you see the power of the ocean, you're like, wow, this is powerful. On some level, are you afraid in a positive way? Like, If I go in the water too deep, I can be swept away and die. I actually saw a little girl almost get swept, swept out into the ocean.
And, and I was very like, um, overwhelmed with that, like urgency to get her out of the water. You know, I didn't save her life. It wasn't on me. Her parents were very much ready to grab, grab her and snatch her out of the water. But man, that was like a moment where I was like, Oh. I knew there's this really distinct and careful moment where we have to say, whoa, if I don't respond, the, the water has the power to overwhelm me and like.
No one would be angry at the water. It's just like the water's powerful You have to respect the water. And so I think there's these times when it's like, okay I can look at this thing and I can see it has power but I do have to be afraid of it because it can destroy me if I Don't respect it or don't appreciate its power and it doesn't have to change because of my feelings.
You know, I think that's a really hard thing to wrap our minds around is like, how do I approach the ocean and say, why aren't you listening to my feelings? Like, we don't even consider that because it's the ocean. It's so powerful and no one can manage the ocean, which reminds me of a verse in Jeremiah, Jeremiah chapter five.
Um, verse 20, 20, declare this in the house of Jacob and proclaim it in Judah saying, hear this now, Oh, foolish people, without understanding you have eyes and see not, and who have ears and hear not. Do you not fear me? Says the Lord, will you not tremble at my presence? Who have Who have placed the sand as the bound of the sea, By perpetual decree that it cannot pass beyond it, And though its waves toss to and fro, Yet they cannot prevail, Though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it.
Here God is saying, like, He put the boundary of sand so that the water stays at the boundary of sand. So, even more than the ocean is his power, is what he's saying here. And that gives me pause to say, ah, do I even think about that? I'm so used to the water stopping where the sand is that I don't even think about how powerful the ocean is and how powerful the sea is.
like God is the retainer of keeping it at bay. It's, uh, incredible. So what's another thing that you have a healthy respect or a healthy fear of? What about fire? When you approach a fire, um, gosh, I've met so many people whose kids have like played around a campfire and accidentally fallen, you know, and burned a hand or a foot or something.
But we, We love fire, like it warms us. It's so powerful. I'm, I live in the Pacific Northwest and man, the fires can get out of control in the summertime. And we are always glad when the rain comes because our fear of fires consuming everything goes down dramatically. And we all breathe a sigh of relief and fresh air when the rain comes, because we know that the fire, the fire is going to be kept at bay again.
And so fire is one of those things that we have a healthy respect for. It's like, I'm afraid of it because it can destroy my home and it can consume anything in its path. You know, it's so powerful. These are pictures that are like kind of a, uh, an image of what God is, but they're not. It's entirety, you know, I think God can be both powerful and consuming and angry and good and merciful and kind.
I don't think he's only one thing, but it's hard for me to wrap my mind around because I tend to be all in one camp at one time and then I change and. It's hard, it's hard for me to imagine God because I only am aware of myself. And so I don't often consider the fullness of who God is. So as we look at these analogies, it's okay to say God is kind of like this.
And we tend to do that. We tend to base something on my experience. This is what I've experienced. So it must be like this. I hope that you can expand this idea and begin to say maybe there's more than what I understand because the Bible is chocked full of these ideas of God demonstrating himself and his power in ways that no human had ever seen before.
For example, like the ark, the flood, the manna, like the Red Sea being open, even the garden. I mean, the earth being formed. Humans that didn't even exist and so as these amazing catastrophic moments appear, because we're reading them from a historical point of view, we consider them as being normal, but no human had ever experienced them.
They were major moments. And in. Job's friends sitting with him were like, this is how God is. This is what God looks like. And they didn't consider that God could be more than they could imagine. And I want to be careful not to make that mistake. And so here we have the wisest man saying, fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
And I want to back up and say, what is the fear of the Lord? And I hope you can walk away with that question today and say, Lord, I need to understand the fear of the Lord. Another thing is just recognizing there's a way for people to get the fear of the Lord. What does the Bible say about getting the fear of the Lord?
Like, how do we get it? How do we get ahold of it? And. How do we know when someone has it? How can I recognize when other people have the fear of the Lord? These are important questions that I'm like only beginning to functionally understand on some level. And I realized how much I don't know rather than how much I actually think I know, which is a sign of wisdom.
Malachi says, then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another. And the Lord listened and heard them. So a book of remembrance was written before him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on his name. Whoa, did you hear that? The Lord listened as those who feared him spoke to one another. This is an important clue.
God, he hears his people and he hears everyone, but he made a book of remembrance about the people who spoke together in the fear of the Lord. Another thing that I want to focus on is the fear of the Lord and how do we get it? So let's just read one more scripture. Okay, maybe more than one because There's so many good ones.
So Proverbs chapter two, it gives us a little hint about how we can find it. This is from Solomon. My son, if you receive my words and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart. to understanding. Yes, if you cry out for discernment and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver and search for her as hidden treasure, then you will understand.
And here it is. The fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God for the Lord gives wisdom from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He stores up wisdom for the upright and he's a shield to those who walk uprightly. Proverbs chapter two. So good. This is one indication of how we can get the fear of the Lord.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And how do we get it? Well, Solomon says we have to search, seek, incline our ears, cry out, apply our heart, lift up our voice, and Um, then we'll just begin to understand the fear of the Lord. So obviously it's not a one time deal. It's a continuing journey of discovery.
As you seek, search, listen, um, and continue in that you, you get a hold of more and more and more. It's not something you can get one time. I'm so tempted to just sit here and read scripture to you because I feel like there's such a deep topic here that is misunderstood, and it's such a mystery. And in Proverbs 25, it says it's the glory of God to conceal a matter, and it's the glory of kings to search it out.
meaning. Not everything is just handed to you immediately. Sometimes there's discovery and searching it out that actually brings revelation, that brings understanding. Have you ever had somebody not give you the answer and then you fought for it harder? Have you ever felt this like desire and then, uh, unmet desire that actually fueled you?
I would say longing is very powerful. And even more than that I would say back up, before longing, like how'd you even discover the question? I used to think that I was there. learning all these things on my own and that I was discovering all these things on my own, but what I'm just Accepting more and more is that God is the one who gives me the question The Holy Spirit is the one who urges me to even ask the question.
It's not as if I Knew what question to ask in the first place. So he gives me a desire or a hunger The word says he he It gives us a hunger and thirst for righteousness. Ah, we didn't even know that we were that we weren't hungry and then he gives you hunger and then it says those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled like he.
He's not just faithful to fill you, he's faithful to show you that you need to be hungry. Longing, think just for a second, let's just imagine back to your childhood, like, do you remember any of your Christmas gifts that you got? How many of them do you remember? Okay, now think about, was there a Christmas gift that you didn't get?
Was there a gift that you wanted that you never received? I hope that that memory jumped a lot harder for you because for me, I can tell you exactly which gift I didn't get because I wanted it so bad that that longing is very, very real. powerful and it makes me think and, and like, I can tell you what it smelled like.
I can tell you, like, I went to the store, I'll tell you, I wanted a Cabbage Patch doll. I went to the store and I would smell the Cabbage Patch dolls because they made their weird plastic skin with scented, um, stuff. And I just, I could feel what it feels like to touch those dolls. I mean, I don't need one now, but I certainly.
cared about that when I was a kid and I will tell you that I cannot tell you every gift that I received as a kid but longing is very powerful and going without is so so good because We think getting and having is the thing, but think about the thing that you as an adult can get your hands on Because now you have the money to pay for it and you just go and you buy something for yourself When's the last time you were actually satisfied with a purchase that you had?
I don't know. We're so removed from the reality of what we're supposed to experience and discover in that we don't even value it. Longing, hunting, searching, sitting, waiting, listening, all of that feels hard and we don't like it. And so this place where God wants to bring us is craving, hungering. You know the word meditate?
One of the words That it translates into is a story about a lion, like growling over his food, like salivating. We're supposed to meditate on his word. We're supposed to hunger and think about his word in a way that's like, I'm so hungry for it that I'm going to growl over it. Uh, do I even value that? Do I even want to do that?
If I develop an appetite that makes me, you know, with a little kid when they just can only eat a couple spoonfuls when they're really just learning to eat, and then the more that their appetite grows, the more they can consume. And then when you consume more, you actually are capable of, um, going a little longer between meals, like you, when babies are first learning to eat, they're, they're eating like every two hours because they're only consuming a tiny amount.
But it's like, when you develop an appetite, your body like is hungry because you need that food. And you're like, Oh, I think I'm going to die. If I don't eat, I think I'm going to die. And I mean, that's not really true immediately, but do I feel that way about the Word of God? Do I actually want to know this thing that is hard for me to wrap my brain around?
Like is there any subject in the Word of God that I'm willing to hunt down and search out and seek and cry out for and listen and, and like continue after, or do I give up the first time I think I get close enough to an answer? If you aren't willing to explore that, if I am not willing to explore that, we shouldn't say we study the Bible because that's not even close to the truth.
If I have to keep coming back and keep reading it, I love to say it's so important to keep rereading something you don't understand in the Bible. Like even if it's one verse, reread it, read it again, read it again, read it 40 times, a hundred times, until you see it. The truth. Until it hits you in a way that's like, oh, oh my gosh, until it hits your body, until it hits your heart, until it changes your life.
Man, I need God's word so desperately that I want to discover it. Like this. Like meditate, like growl, like hunger and thirst, like seek out the mystery, like what if there's something that I haven't found and it's the thing that's gonna bring a transformation in my whole life? What if it's discovering lost treasure?
How hard would you look if you thought there was treasure at the end? This is what it's talking about. Am I willing? Dig for treasure. When's the last time that you had a meal that was like less than satisfying and you gave up on food? You were like, I actually don't need to eat anymore because that meal was not what I wanted.
That did not meet my needs. I can be so shallow sometimes when I come to the Word of God and think it needs to meet my needs. And so then I'll get frustrated. But in reality, it's not about me. And it's about me coming into the word of God, not it. I mean, yes, it needs to get into me, but I need to get into it.
A hundred years from now, I'm not going to be here. The word of God will still be that word of God has been around. And, and did you know that they don't even put. The Word of God on the bestseller list. It's the number one, the Bible is the number one bestselling book in the world. I don't even know how many years, probably since its origin.
I need to find out. They don't even put it on the list because it beats everyone. It has beat everyone. So they take it out of its, they don't even publish it. Isn't that hilarious? The Word of God is the best selling book in the world and it has treasure that we are going to dig for. So we're going to dig on this topic.
What is the fear of the Lord? How do we get it? We have to keep looking. We have to keep searching. It is like fire. Sure. It is like the ocean. Sure. Should we be afraid of God? Maybe. I don't know. Should we have a healthy reverence for him? Absolutely. Should we depend on him? Should we believe that His way is better than our way?
Absolutely. I think we should come into an alignment with what it is that He's trying to teach us through His word. And fear of the Lord is a topic that I'm going to say I don't know enough about, but let's keep talking about it. As we talk about God's word, I want you to walk away with this question today.
What is the fear of the Lord? And what is it like?
Thank you for joining me today on Let's Talk About the Bible.
