Foremost Goal of Fearing God

Read:  Psalm 83 / Proverbs 7 / Nehemiah 7 /Revelation 1

Psalm 83:1,18 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still... That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Proverbs 7:24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Nehemiah 7:2 Hanani... was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
Revelation 1:5 Jesus Christ... the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth... loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. 

The foremost goal of fearing God
Shall magnify Him in our eyes
And minimize what men applaud
When God's approval is our prize.

Since Christ, the faithful Witness, said
That He will come for us again,
Let us by godly fear be led
And praise Him now as well as then.
