[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 34]] ## Title: Godly Fear ## Scripture: (Psalm 34:9) “Fear the Lord, you chosen people of his, for those who fear him lack nothing.” (NET) ## Observation: It is possible to organize fear into two different categories. There is the kind of fear that causes you to back up and guard yourself and the kind of fear that is out of a sense of respect and wonder. In the times of kings and queens, those in their kingdom were to fear their ruler. Yes, it could be because of his immense power, but hopefully it was because of the way he wielded it. He had all the power he could want, yet he was good and gentle with his subjects. This is the kind of fear we should have with God. There is a natural reality that we have a healthy fear of what God could do, but we have a reverent fear of God because of what He does do. He is good. He is kind. He is patient. He is gentle. He is strong. He is close to us all. ## Application: Think about all God could do, but how carefully He walks with us. He is a good King. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being so good.
