I love the lessons keep gods word going all over the world
Fear the LORD cannot mean be afraid of Him because Jesus repeatedly "be not afraid it is I"
So what does it mean?
I believe it is worshipping Him as the ruler of the Universe, the source of all power and wisdom.
Why are so many people choosing to idolize the rebels and anti-establishment leaders promoting anarchy?
Because they reject God's wisdom and His Word which shows that true happiness come from the Golden Rule - do unto others what you want them to do to you.
They reject God's authority over them as well as any other authority.
“This seems to say that God won’t be merciful to the sinner when trouble comes his way. I thought that if we sought Him, He would forgive and answer. What’s different here?”
