why fear?

I thought I would dedicate my first actual blog to describing why I believe fear is such a good thing. Psalm 111:10 says that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Psalm 19 says “The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.” Proverbs 10:27 says “The fear of the Lord prolongs life.” So far, fear sounds pretty good to me. What do you mean by “fear” you ask? Well, fear is defined by Merriam Webster as “to have a reverential awe”. I wonder how anyone could not have a reverential awe for God. What a great big God I serve! For who can fathom the depths of the riches of knowing Him? He spoke and the world came into existence! All that we see is His doing! And yet somehow, people do not have a reverential awe…I don’t get it. But there are a lot of things in the world I don’t get. I don’t get traffic…if everyone just kept moving, we wouldn’t have traffic (I realize its much more complex than that, but it’s a nice thought, isn’t it?).

Anyways, I made a website (also for my computer class). The site is so creative, are you ready for this?? Its http://fearisgood.tripod.com Man! I’m all about technology these days! Well, that’s all there is to say for now. Its 1:30 am and I have some homework I am procrastinating on…although, since this is for class…I guess I am doing homework by posting this :)

Welcome Meagan..

When I think of fearing the Lord, I am reminded of C.S. Lewis's masterpiece "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" Where the beavers are talking about Aslan the Lion (Symbolic of Christ):


"Ooh!" said Susan, "I'd thought he was a man. Is he--quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion."

"That you will, dearie, and no mistake," said Mrs. Beaver, "if there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most or else silly."

"Then he isn't safe?" said Lucy.

"Safe?" said Mr. Beaver. "Don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you."


We fear what we don't understand. I am very glad that we don't understand our Creator.

Don't friǥhten him off by actually starting the
mߋve. These actions and behaviours may and ϲɑn get
you “seх” but they do not neceѕsarily make a man sеxually attractеd to you.

Your boyfriend didn't know you very well at the start and he was eager to get to know you better.
