Proverbs 9:10 ESV
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
So you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him.
When I woke up at 2:00 a.m. I wondered what is it to fear the Lord. He dwells in unapproachable light. He is infinitely high above us. He is pure holy and set apart yet He is God who descended from the heavens. Who are we but lowly man.
Proverbs 14:27 NASB
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, That one may avoid the snares of death.
Proverbs 8:13 NASB
"The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverted mouth, I hate.
Isaiah 6:1-5 NASB
In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called out to another and said, "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory." And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke. Then I said, "Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."
