“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” (Proverbs 1:7)

There are many fears that people have in this world. The list of documented phobias grows longer every year, with entries such as Islamophobia and Obamaphobia recently joining the list. But out of all the fears that exist in this world, only one is a valid and proper fear for believers to have, and that is the fear of God. By this, of course, it is not meant that people should be terrified of God or of Jesus. The Biblical definition of the fear of the Lord is quite different from the modern definition of fear or phobia. Jesus tells us not to fear those who persecute us (Mt. 10:28). He commands that we do not fear lack of provisions for our lives, for God will provide all that we need (Mt 10:29-30). Fearing God means understanding that our choices and actions have real spiritual consequences to them. Are you wrestling with any fears at the moment? Take time to pray against them and give them up to God. Ask God to replace your fears with faith and to give you a true fear for God alone.

Heavenly God, protect me from those who would harm or attack me. Give me grace to endure persecution for your name's sake. Take away any earthly fears in my heart, and may I fear you alone. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
