The fear of God encompasses reverence, obedience, and humility in our relationship with Him. True reverence means treating God and His things with deep respect rather than casualness. Godly obedience manifests through pure speech, controlled emotions, and faithful adherence to His Word. Like King David, genuine humility before God values His opinion above others and responds to criticism by focusing on honoring Him. This reverent fear should draw us closer to God, leading us to evaluate our private lives and worship practices.
