The Fear I Need

These are actual conditions…
Fear of Chickens : Alektorophobia
Fear of Bald People: Peladophobia
Fear of the Pope: Papaphobia
Fear of walking: Ambulophobia
Fear of Heaven: Ouranophobia

These are irrational fears. Rational fears make more sense – keeps me from jumping off of tall buildings or trying out snake handling. Holy fear makes the most sense of all for it liberates rather than enslaves. Proverbs 1:7 – “Fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. Only fools despise wisdom and discipline.”

Sadly, I find myself playing the fool way to often. What a waste of time and energy. In His love I’m free. In His true path I am liberated. The fear of the Lord is the fear I need.
