When I read that scripture, it seems to contradict itself, in that fear is something that is not a comfortable thing. But once thinking about it, so true, we do even in life like strong confidence. I know I like when I feel that something has a strong constitution or place or feeling I can trust, and what better place than the Lord is strong confidence. Sometimes, I think to fear the Lord is meant to revere or respect, and fear of the Lord is a good thing because it makes us accountable for ourselves. If that makes any sense at all. Solomon was teaching that he fell short in his fear of the Lord and swayed off path. Thanks for giving me a scripture that was food for thought this Sunday morning. Love the big red building photo. Something about those building when I see them along the roadside that always makes a great photo. We don't have the snow, but it is frosty this morning just like when Fall begins instead of the beginning of April. Thankfully, most of my flowers weren't that much up to be harmed by the frost or at least I don't think so. Time will tell. :)
Love the photo because I think old buildings are special. Also, love snow pictures too, because here in California we get to see it. And of course, I love the verse too.
Beautiful barn & photo! I loved it as we also had more snow yesterday :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. This historic blacksmith shop is a local building that always catches my eye.
