‏ Proverbs 14:26

The Blessings of Fearing the LORD

This section encourages us to live with respect and reverence for God. The fear of the Lord brings many benefits, both to our own lives and to our families. It gives us confidence, protection, and lasting joy. It also helps us stay away from the dangers of sin.

v. 26: The Bible says, In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge (Proverbs 14:26 a). When we truly respect and trust God, we receive a strong sense of peace and security. This confidence helps us stay pure and calm, no matter what happens around us. We can be bold before God and others because we know He will take care of us. Also, those who trust in God pass on a blessing to their children. The children of people who fear God often learn to go to Him for safety, and they are protected by God because of their parents’ faith and prayers.
