What does it mean to fear the Lord? Yesterday I posted my own thoughts on fear and today I was blessed by a friend who read my blog and directed me to Ligonier Ministries, where they have daily discipleship resources. Under the section renewing your mind they have been discussing Fear of the Lord. Wow! How blessed are we when the Lord lays something on your heart for over a week and then He blesses with affirmation of your studies reminding how relevant and important His lessons are. I have now listened to all of them on fear from February 10, 2025 to today’s. I will continue to listen and learn and I hope that you will follow along.

There is a great deal to consider and a great deal to repent over in our sins. Understand your fear, understand your relationship with God, understand your obligation (which should come naturally when you have proper fear of God) so that you can properly worship, grow in your faith, have the peace you seek, and if you are dealing with a hardened heart you may be blessed with softness, compassion and joy. Standing before God, calling Him alone father is something that we all need to remind ourselves to do as we all will be judged according to His will.

I would be curious to know if you find yourself to be a rhino or a deer? What does your fear reveal? What are your priorities? Where does your security lie? Do you fear being a sinner or being exposed as a sinner? What is the state of your heart? Are you a hypocrite? Are you puffed up after studying theology? Do you pride yourselve on knowledge and power because we think we know more than others? Are you a theological thug? Do you have true knowledge of yourself? Things to ponder as you listen.

Praying that you find this to be a blessing in your walk through life. Be enriched by the Word dear one.
