"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." - Proverbs 1:7 The fear of God isn't actually about being afraid of God. It means to love him, respect his power, and follow his will. Following God's pleases God. His will requires to replace your thoughts and goals with His, because his will wants to do what's best for you. Living his will won't be easy, but God will give you hope, as His love will never let you down.
