Jesus himself chose to live in the Fear of the Lord Isaiah 11:1-5 teaches us. So what does this mean? It means that Jesus laid down his own understanding of what He saw and heard, in his human form, in reverence for the leading of the Spirit of God. If this is what Jesus did, shouldn’t we do likewise? Often we rely on our own understanding to make life decisions, which can lead us down a path of good choices rather than Godly choices. This podcast will look deeper at biblical wisdom and what it means to live with the ‘Fear of the Lord’. It will help you to value God’s voice of wisdom so that you will be able prosper in every area of life.
