Psalms 34:8
Compare all
6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 aThe1 angel of the Lord bencamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them. 
8 Oh, ataste and see that the Lord is good;
bBlessed is the man who trusts in Him! 
9 Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no1 want to those who fear Him. 
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
aBut those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. 
11 Come, you children, listen to me;
aI will teach you the fear of the Lord. 
12 aWho is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good? 
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking adeceit.

Psalm 34:8-11

The fear of the Lord is not something that comes naturally. The fear of the Lord is something that must be learned. And indeed it must be learned because it is the essence of true religion. I used the word essence in last week's sermon. It is that which makes something what it is. It is the real nature of a thing. And the fear of the Lord is the real nature of the religion, the way of life, of God.

Why did the psalmist (as we just read in Psalm 119:79 and also in Psalm 34:11) want those who feared God to turn to him? Because he wanted those who feared God to learn to fear Him even more! Wise living, godly living does not remove fear entirely, but consists of fearing the right things. Adam and Eve feared the wrong things.
