Fear and fear not

My friend hesitates. Uncomfortable when I speak of “the fear of the Lord.” And pray it for our children. 

Through the years, from their youngest days, this has been my prayer. That they may walk in the fear of the Lord. Know His wisdom. Recognize His holiness. 

But there are too many things to fear in our world today. We don’t need to make God one more thing to fear. Right? I think that’s the unspoken piece of this friend’s response.

But Jesus talks about fear. The wrong kind and the right kind.
