Passage:
Psalm 25:12-14*
12. Who is the man who
fears the Lord?
He will instruct him in the way he should
choose.
13. His soul will abide in
prosperity,
And his descendants will inherit the land..
14. The secret of the Lord is
for those who fear Him,
And He will make them know His covenant..
Questions
1. What does it mean to
you to fear the Lord?
2. What things are promised to
those who fear Him?
3. Has God shared any secrets
with you lately?
Practical
help
In this age of tolerance
the idea that a person should fear God runs counter to
popular thinking. Somehow, the people of our time
prefer a more benign image of God. Nonetheless, the
Bible speaks of a God who is to be feared and
explicitly attributes great blessing to those who do
fear Him.
One biblical definition of the
fear of the Lord is the idea of having a love for God
on one hand and a hatred for evil on the other. (See
Proverbs 8:13) Another way to look at it would be to
hold God in a place of reverence and awe because of
His power and holiness.
So, what are the promised
benefits? Those who fear the Lord will:
1. Be lead by Him in
the correct paths
2. Enjoy prosperity of
soul
3. Receive insight into the
secret things of God
4. Know the blessings of His
promises
Growth in a healthy fear of the
Lord is a great deterrent to the habitual use of Web
porn. You don’t need to settle for the emptiness
and leanness of soul it produces.
