DELIGHT IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Delight in the fear of the Lord
a) Fear – yir’ah; fear, reverence
b) The reverential fear of God causes us to perfect holiness in our own lives, knowing that we will reap what we sow, knowing that God will chastise the children He loves as a good Father does, helps us to stay close to God. Holiness is delightful because we then have the joy of a clean heart and right relationship with our God.
(2 Corinthians 7:1)
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
(Proverbs 9:10)
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
(Psalms 25:12-14 NKJV)
Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. {13} He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth. {14} The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.
(Proverbs 1:23 NKJV)
Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.
(Proverbs 14:26-27 NKJV)
In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge. {27} The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.
(Proverbs 15:33 NKJV)
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, And before honor is humility.
(Proverbs 19:23 NKJV)
The fear of the LORD leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.
(Isaiah 33:6 NKJV)
Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the LORD is His treasure.
(Jeremiah 32:40 NKJV)
‘And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me.
