Name of God: Spirit of the Fear of the Lord

The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD – Isaiah 11:2

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. – Proverbs 1:7

Some things you can do today with God’s name

• Fear means reverence and standing in awe of someone in an exalted position.
• What is the difference between the fear of the Lord, and the kind of fear that the Scriptures often tell us not to have? Isaiah 43:1 says, “But now, this is what the LORD says—he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.’”
• What do Proverbs 2:1-11 and 1 Peter 1:17 add about the fear of the Lord?
• Ask the Lord to show you what it means to fear Him. Based on what He shows you, is there anything you need to change in your life?
• Ask Him to release the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord on you today.
