Redeeming Fear

The Bible says fear not 365 times. Proverbs 9:10 says “The fear of the Lord is beginning of wisdom.” It seems that we are being told two different things. How do we redeem fear in order to understand it the way the Bible commands us to and dispel the misconception that we are to be fearless at all times? We must remember that fear is a God given emotion and it can be viewed and felt in a healthy way. In order to have a biblical fear we must ask ourselves who or what is the object and cause of our fear?
