Phrases involving the fear of the LORD or fearing God occur more than 150 times in the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. Yet this idea of fearing God troubles us. Are we supposed to be scared of God all the time? Do we fear divine wrath at our slightest infraction of his laws? Is God out to get us? Fearing God means to take the reality of God seriously. He is the reference point for everything.
