The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10 NIV)
I do not like to fear anything, but I know to fear God is to reverence Him. He deserves my respect and honor. He deserves my daily praise and adoration.
When I approach Him, I must realize that He is a Holy God, the Creator of all things. When I approach Him in prayer, I must humble myself, realizing who He is and who I am, a created being.
Be Encouraged! We are all learning about God.
