The fear of the Lord is not terror but a deep reverence, honor, and respect for God that affects every area of our lives. We can grow in understanding about the fear of the Lord. Through Psalm 34 and Ecclesiastes 12:13, the fear of the Lord is connected to God’s protection, provision, wisdom, and the greater manifestation of His presence. As we grow in reverence for God, we are delivered from lesser fears, learn to trust Him more fully, and position ourselves to walk in the blessings and purposes He has prepared for us.
