Fear of the Lord can mean many things, from great respect and awe to fright or even terror. There are special blessings and favor for those who fear the Lord. Blessings are God's favor and protection. Favor is the evidence that the Lord is pleased or delighted with a person and his approval benefits them. Fear does a lot of things for the believer who walks in the true, authentic, heartfelt holy fear of the Lord. It honors God so that he releases his manifold blessings to the believer. Scripture reveals that many blessings and benefits come from fostering an attitude of holy fear of the Lord!
