I think we have lost in our culture what it is to fear God.
It seems that is something that we often leave out.
When you're reading through the Bible, are you like me, looking at the phrases like,
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction" (Prov. 1:7),
and thinking, "fear = respect. Got it,"
and then moving on?
How many times in the Bible does it say "fear" the Lord?
(A quick search on BibleGateway.com elicits 130 results.)
If it's in the Bible so much (and one only has to look through Proverbs to run across it...a LOT),
then why do we overlook it?
What is it about fearing God that is so
uncomfortable,
awkward,
or flat-out hard?
Or is it just me?
