The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge

We as God's children need to develop a healthy fear of the Lord.  What do I mean by this?  This does not mean that we walk around afraid and in dread of our Heavenly Father.  That He is going to send a lightning bolt out of heaven and hurt us in some way.  But it does mean that we hold our Heavenly Father in reverence.  In other words, we elevate our Heavenly Father and His word so high in our life that there is nothing more important in our thinking and seeking.  We place God so high in our life that everything else is subordinate to Him.  Our Heavenly Father has to remain supreme in our lives.  (Proverbs 1:7)
