Healthy "Fear"

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
11 For by me your days will be multiplied,
    and years will be added to your life.
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
    if you scoff, you alone will bear it.

(Proverbs 9:10-12)
The Fear of the Lord.  Somehow that phrase still gets my attention. Even after seeing, hearing, and reading it for decades.  It grabs me by the collar, yet embraces me.  When we embrace it back our lives are changed. Not only are our good days longer, they will be less lonely.  Running from God only makes us more lonely. Standing in His presence brings light to the fact that we are not alone and stand with us in a Revelation kind of way - seeking to worship Him.  Humbly bowing before Him is the path to life, especially when we stand by the side of "the way, the truth and the life, Jesus Christ.  Have a healthy dose of fear today.
