Proverbs 10:27-28 – The fear of the Lord adds length to life, but the years
of the wicked are cut short. The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
Proverbs
1:7 – The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 3:1-2 – My son, do not
forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and
prosperity.
Esther 7:10 – So they impaled Haman on
the pole he had set up for Mordecai. Then
the king’s fury subsided.
Application:
- · Fear of the Lord is a loving reverence for God that includes submission to his lordship and to the commands of His word.
- · Fear of the Lord brings health to the body and “adds length to life”. When Solomon prayed for wisdom, God promised him riches as well as long life if he obeyed God’s commands.
- · John Calvin said, “Man falls as God’s providence ordains, but he falls by his own fault”.
