How do I have a healthy fear of the LORD?

From the beginning GOD has instructed us to Love HIM but also to Fear HIM.  In Deuteronomy 5:28 & 29 The GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob speaks to Moses “The LORD heard you when you spoke to me,

 I have heard what this people said to you. Everything they said was good. Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!” Can you imagine what our LORD felt when he conversed with Moses? HE wanted so desperately for all of us to be inclined to fear HIM, to keep his commands and he made promises to us and our children that things would go well with us forever. What a promise we have missed out on!

In Deuteronomy 6: 1-8, 13, & 24 GOD has given us HIS commands, decrees and laws HE Commanded, not suggested we follow.  In three different verses in chapter 6 we are told to fear the LORD and it will go well with you and your children and your children’s children forever. Somehow we have dismissed this teaching as something that is not pertinent in today’s world. I believe it is important, one of the most important things we can do in our relationship with GOD. 

GOD has put it on my heart to explore this subject for the next few days, so I hope you will stay with us and we will seek out GOD’s point of view through his words. 

In Christ
