YIRAH: Which means FEAR
When my wife and I saw this red sky over our backyard in Georgia, we called our girls to see it too because we were in awe. We were in awe of the colors, the shapes, and the God who created this spectacular scene.
The Hebrew word we translate as “awe” is yirah, which also means “respect, reverence, and worship.” Yirah also means “fear.” I grew up thinking to “fear the Lord” meant to be afraid of Him, but as we watched this stunning sunset, I didn't feel fear. I felt awe and reverence. I felt yirah.
Having the type of awe and reverence for God that motivates us to do His will is the beginning of wisdom. Do you fear the Lord today?
