APPLIED FEAR – Proverbs 15:16-24 – 1-25-26

Proverbs 15 provides applications for those who fear the Lord. We’ve considered more sophisticated definitions of the fear of God in past messages. Today I’m proposing a simple summary considering the context of Proverbs 15. To fear the Lord is: to take Him as seriously as His gory demands. Those who seek to live appropriately in His universal presence will heed Solomon’s admonitions.  It stands to reason that if the hearts of the children of man lie open before the Lord, those who bring their hearts to him willingly for review and instruction will fare better in this life and the next one.  Let us fear the Lord in heeding these words today
