Good Foundation of Godly Fear

Read:  Psalm 25 / Proverbs 23 / Joshua 4 / Mat. 10

Psalm 25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
Proverbs 23:17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
Joshua 4:23-24 The LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you... that all the people of the earth... might fear the LORD your God for ever.
Matthew 10:28 Fear not them which kill the body... but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

The secret of a good foundation
Is always found in godly fear,
Whereby the sinner seeks salvation,
And God then makes His mercy clear. 

True wisdom has its sure beginning
In godly fear that reasons well.
The fool, in contrast, goes on sinning,
Indifferent to the truth of hell.
