When you don't know whats' coming next, when you see a facade that looks soo threatening standing in front of you, when others you love and admire are in trouble of some sort, those are some of the times when we experience the greatest amount fear.
So when we hear statements like "Fear the Lord", what goes through your head? When I was 10 or 12 years old I always thought to myself, "Why do I need to fear Him". He is a loving God! So I was confused. But over the years I've come to realize that if people are living a questionable lifestyle then that fear is a very present factor in their lives and something I've experienced personally.
Deuteronomy 6:13 Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.
So what I've learned is that that "Fear" we are talking about for me personally, is that I fear not doing His will, so I fear the outcome of my wayward thinking and I fear how that will affect my relationship with God.
