Fear the Lord
I walked by a Christian newspaper and read something from the front page:
Verse of the Month
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised,
Proverbs 31:30
Happy Mothers Day
I kinda liked the first sentence, but then the whole fear the Lord and be praised thing lost me. Why should anybody fear the Lord? I supposed it’s easier to control people sometimes when they fear you. But does God want me to fear him like a dog fears his master? That doesn’t really make any sense to me.
