The word “fear” in this verse does not mean “scared of, and,
afraid to be close to”. Rather, this word “fear” used here
gives the meaning of reverence, respect, and acknowledge of a
superior being. In south Georgia English, I take it to mean, “its
wise to respect our God”,and, to obey Him!
The second lesson in this verse speaks about pride. Few people
respect or honour a prideful person. Most of us look down upon, with
criticism, those that brag about them selves all the time. Pride is a
sin often addressed in the Bible.
Humility and pride is a state of mind. They expose our inner selves,
and, who we really are. Do we think only of our selves, showing
pride, or are we concerned about other folks before we are about our
selves?
Humility is a virtue we should all
strive to achieve.
