"Fear" doesn't horror, which makes men hide themselves, but makes men obey and follow God. The bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. When we know what are God's holiness, justice and perfect love toward us, we will naturally fear him. The man who fears God can have true wisdom. What God prepares for those who fear him is abundant and wonderful.

Below are the seven blessings of fearing God:

1.God's Provision. "Fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing."(Psalm 34:9)

2.God's protection. "The fear of the Lord leads to life: then one rests content, untouched by trouble." (Proverbs 19:23)

3.God's love. "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him." (Psalm 103:11)

4.God's grace. "How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you." (Psalm 31:19)

5.God's abundance. "Humility and the fear of the Lord bring health and honor and life." (Proverbs 22:4)

6.God's response. "He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them." (Psalm 145:19)

7.Freedom. "Through the fear of the Lord a man avoids evil."(Proverbs 16:6) God has his mystery. He doesn't mean concealing it from you, but wants you to explore it by drawing close to him. "The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them." (Psalm 25:14)
