The Fear of God | Randy Frazee | Wisdom Rx
Going Deeper
Experts tell us the principle sources of fear are darkness, loss of support, strange things, sudden noises and snakes. What is the thing that causes you the greatest amount of fear?
Here are some of the passages that talk about the benefits of “Fearing God”. Look up each passage and identify what that benefit is – Deuteronomy 6:24; Job 4:6; Psalms 31:19, 34:9, 33:18-19, 145:19; Proverbs 9:10, 10:27, 16:6.
We can find freedom from our fear by the presence of God and by God’s perfected love. What has worked the best for you to experience the healing power of these prescriptions?
