The term fear of the LORD in the bible means to follow God wholeheartedly.
This is first and foremost command. To love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
This type of following God wholeheartedly leads to life filled with His goodness, fully satisfied,
all desires met and complete protection.
Wholeheartedly following God is a lifelong commitment and not based on circumstances.
In the very distracting and tempting world, it is challenging to follow God the Father wholeheartedly.
The Israelites faced the same challenge and succumbed to it and failed.
It becomes more challenging to wholeheartedly follow God by our own strength,
but with the strength and guidance of Holy Spirit it becomes easy and it becomes a lifestyle for us.
Who do you follow today wholeheartedly? As Joshua asked, whose side are you on today? Ask the same question to yourself.
Align your life completely to walking in full commitment to God and His Word, and His Ways.
It will lead to life, satisfaction, and protection.
