Meditations From The Psalms, Part 14

"The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts." - Psalm 119:110

The Scriptures set two types of fear before us and give us counsel on each one. Proverbs 29:25 tells us that the fear of man brings a snare. We have all experienced the fear of man, and we have learned what bondage it puts us in. On the opposite side of the biblical ledger, we are told that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. We must learn to fear God above all. He controls all events, is sovereign in all matters, and therefore deserves to be revered above mortal man. I need much work in this are of my life. Whom do you fear most? That's the way I see things.
