When we hear the word “fear,” we usually think about being afraid or scared of something. But here, the Bible talks about having a fear of God. Does that mean we’re supposed to be scared of God Himself? Absolutely not! It means that we respect God for who He is. The big, mighty, great God who loves us and wants what’s best for us. This verse begins with a reminder to not be afraid. Why? Because of the big God we serve. Our respect and love for Him is what will keep us motivated to walk the right path and avoid some of the mistakes we might fear.
