Can you already get a sense of the expulsive power of the fear of the Lord? A growing knowledge of God displaces the fear of people, and it casts out our tendency to be casual with our secret sins. And the good news is that it can be learned. God is absolutely enthusiastic about blessing us with this knowledge. You don’t have to be a patriarch of Israel. You simply must be a person who prays (Eph. 1:17) and seeks after this great gift.
