Fear the Lord and Turn From Evil - Proverbs 3: 7, 8: 13, 16: 6
Proverbs is full of great wisdom
having complete trust in its word
leads you in the way of righteousness
any other route is totally absurd
Don't trust in your own sight
be sure to display godly reverence
turn yourself away from all evil
fear the Lord your God in His night
You can't do these two things
for fearing God is hating evil
all types of perverted talk you hate
arrogant pride brings your justice date
Your iniquity needs to be atoned for
faithfulness and divine love does this
fear the Lord and turn from evil
brings you to receive your eternal kiss
Having God's fear deep in your heart
enables you to be holy and obey
all that the Lord commands upon yourself
in Christ, you're able to do as He says
(Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
Proverbs 3: 7(ESV)
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.
Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
and perverted speech I hate.
Proverbs 8: 13(ESV)
By steadfast love and faithfulness, iniquity is atoned for,
and by the fear of the Lord, one turns away from evil.)
Proverbs 16: 6 (ESV)
(Quote:
" I believe it is impossible to consistently walk in obedience and holiness unless you have the fear of God in your heart." - David Wilkerson (1931-2011) U.S. Evangelist )
