THE FEAR OF THE LORD: THE FOREMOST MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT OF GLORY!
Isaiah 11:2–3 (NKJV)
“The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. His delight is in the fear of the LORD.”
Dearly beloved,
The seven manifestations of the Spirit of God rested upon Jesus in their fullness. They include wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord, with the Spirit of the Lord as the source.
Interestingly, when Isaiah describes the disposition of Jesus towards these manifestations, he specifically highlights one: His delight is in the fear of the Lord!
Why is this significant?
The Bible declares in Proverbs 9:10 that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, while Job 28:28 identifies the fear of the Lord as wisdom itself.
This tells us that the fear of the Lord is not merely one of the manifestations we should desire; it is foundational to walking in the wisdom and ways of God.
Even Jesus, during His earthly ministry, was heard because of His godly fear.
Hebrews 5:7 says that He was heard because of His godly fear.
The fear of the Lord is therefore not terror or bondage. It is a reverential response to God that positions us to walk in His wisdom, hear His voice and fulfil His will.
As we experience the Spirit of Glory within us, may our greatest delight be to walk in the fear of the Lord!
Prayer:
Daddy God, thank You for the Spirit of Glory resting upon me. Fill my heart with reverence for You. Let my delight be in Your ways, and cause me to walk in Your wisdom and understanding.In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Proclamation:
I am filled with the Spirit of Glory. The fear of the Lord is my delight. I walk in divine wisdom, understanding and the perfect will of God.
I am the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!
Praise the Risen Jesus!
