Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

The Fear Of The Lord - Psalm 111: 10

Live in the knowledge of godly fear
paying heed to all this truly means
bow in humble adoration to your God
he who is great be truly sure you lean

This God is the height of all wisdom
nobody knows anything like this king
for He is our creator and the sustainer
causing us to praise Him as we sing

To fear God is wisdom's beginning
for He brings us true understanding
bringing a deep knowledge to obey
all God's word reveals for our standing

Pray to God for you to know
all His precepts and holy word
hold fast in your memory
the fear of the Lord

 (Psalms 111: 10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his commandments; his praise endureth forever.)

Brandy Nicole December 19, 2023 at 7:38 PM In Ecclesiastes 12:13, it states: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Fear means to show respect. Of course, to do what the Lord says. The world would be a 'better' place if everyone did this. Keep being a light, my dear friend. Many wonderful blessings to you.
