To Know He Is God

Specially, today’s Bible App (YouVersion) “verse of the day” is on the fear of the Lord. The Word declares, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). And yet, do we know what the fear of the Lord is? Do we know what it means? Isn’t our God approachable, and isn’t He a God of love?
 
As it happens, oftentimes, the Lord even would have me pray for this, as the foundational need in people. I pray, with faith, that He’d put the fear of Him within people’s hearts so that they’d seek Him and not depart from Him (Jer. 32:40). I pray for people to know that He is Worthy and that He is God and they are not.
 
Noticeably, the Word further speaks:
 
"For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths." (Proverbs 5:21 NKJV)
 
Surely, in order to fear Him, we must know the Lord’s greatness. We must know that He is the One who sees—and that nothing can escape Him (1 Pet. 3:12; Rom. 2:2-11; Heb. 10:26-31).
