We decide if we're going to have the fear of the Lord - Then God teaches those who fear Him. (Pro 1). Having the fear of the Lord is loving Him, giving Him honor, respect, devotion, right worship, serving Him, following Him and being submitted and obeying His Word, His will.

Having the fear of the Lord means we love what He loves and hates what He hates (Psa 97:10, Pro 6:16-19).

...we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:" Heb 22:28 Having the fear of the Lord is the true and acceptable way of worshipping the Lord (Benson commentary).

"The reverent fear and worshipful awe of the Lord [includes] the hatred of evil; pride, arrogance, the evil way, and perverted and twisted speech I hate." (Pro 8:13). It "...prolongs one’s days..." (Pro 10:27). "It causes men to depart from evil (Pro 16:6), "By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life." (Pro 22:4) "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant" (Psa 25). It's a treasure (Isa 33:6l). Churches walked in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:31).

Having the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, knowledge, instruction, and is the fountain of life (Pro 1:7, 9:10, 14:27).

Can be taught - teach children to have the fear of the Lord (Psa 34:11).

How to have the fear of the Lord: (Pro 2:1-5).
