"That's the real meaning of fear of the Lord in the Bible.
Fear literally means affectionate awe and wonder at greatness and a sense of astonishment.
If I asked 10 people, "Do you trust God?" and they all said yes - but the truth was that nine were lying - do you know how I'd learn the identity of the one who really trusts God?
I'd videotape all 10 of them for a month, and the one who lived with an abiding sense of gratitude would be the one who trusted God.
Gratitude always implies the perception, evaluation, and acceptance of life as a gift."
