The Fear of the Lord
Proverbs 1:7
Take Time to Reflect on
this Quote…
Yes I know how terrible that doubt
is “Perhaps He will not.” But it is
so seldom the present and the
actual that is intolerable.
Remember one is given strength to
bear what happens to one, but
not the 100 and 1 different
things that might happen.
And don’t say God has proved
that He can make you fear
poverty, illness, etc.
I am sure God never teaches us the
fear of anything but Himself.
As the only two good lines in one
of our bad hymns says
“Fear Him ye saints and you will
then have nothing to fear.”
~ C.S. Lewis
