The Fear of the Lord Brings Strong Confidence

The Fear of the Lord is a profound reverence and awe towards God 

“In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.” (Prov. 14:26 ESV) 

Having a healthy fear of the Lord strengthens you like a rock, and that will turn you into a wonderful refuge for your children. That’s especially important in the world we live in today, with so much uncertainty and negativity coming at them from every direction.

We have confidence before God

“For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.” (Prov. 3:26 ESV)

“For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;” (1 John 3:20-21 ESV)

Therefore

“So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” (Heb. 13:6 ESV)

“Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.” (Heb. 10:35-36 ESV)
