This is devotional thought number 39 in our devotional series titled, “Wisdom for the Ages.”
“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride and the evil way and perverse utterances.” (Proverbs 8:13, NET).
Today’s Scripture focus is the perfect case study for why we must compare Scripture with Scripture. The Bible says,
“Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, And drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; Line upon line, line upon line; Here a little, and there a little:” (Isaiah 28:9–10). Too often, we rely upon external sources for that which God has revealed about His Word, in His Word. That is to say, the keys to understanding Scripture are in the Bible.
The following is a case in point: “The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.” (Proverbs 10:27). The Bible further says, “The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: And he that hath it shall abide satisfied; He shall not be visited with evil.” (Proverbs 19:23). I have found that whenever this principle called “the fear of the Lord” is seen in Scripture, it is something to be treasured and embraced. It is always in contrast to evil, rejection of wisdom and understanding, and is laudable for its righteous approach to life. Again, I am speaking of this in the context of when it is used to teach us something. There are times Scripture says the fear of the Lord came upon people, which is related, but there are other elements to consider in those cases.
If we were to took at all cases in Scripture where it says we should fear God or that His people feared Him, we would discover that this fear is not a quaking or trepidation. It is an archaic way to say those who fear God love life, love, holiness, righteousness, integrity, and reverence for their Creator. It says that this healthy respect for God positions all who possess it, to live forever with God. The fear of the Lord is key to all righteous living and the fulness of relationship with God.
A word to the foolish is wasteful. A word to the wise is sufficient.—L. David Harris (www.LDavidHarris.com)
