Keeping Your Heart From EvilProverbs 19:23 - “The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.”What does it mean to “fear the LORD”?I believe we know we have a good, spiritually healthy “fear the LORD” when we believe everything the Bible says about God is true and we believe everything it says God will do He will do and we live accordingly. The word fear in this verse does not denote one being scared of God, but rather having an awe and reverence of who He is. God is holy, righteous, and just. And all His actions are holy, righteous, and just. When a “fear of the LORD” lifestyle is adopted and practiced it gives sustenance to one’s life. It gives satisfaction in one’s life. And it gives one a safe place to live, “he (or she) shall not be visited with evil”. Adopting the practice of living in the fear of the LORD is the best way a Christian can live. What are some of your practices in life that denote you fear the LORD?
