What does it mean to fear the Lord? It means following him. It means focusing on eternal things, which are things that truly last. It means striving to see people the way God sees them. In 1 Samuel 16:7, “the LORD said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.’”
