Who is among you that fears the LORD,I have to admit, I wonder some times whether this sort of statement applies to me or not. Do I fear God? Yes, at least to an extent; I sometimes worry if my fear is insufficient, since I disobey that voice so often.
That obeys the voice of His servant,
That walks in darkness and has no light?
Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.
But which comes first, fear or trust? If fear comes first, it's hard to move to trust, because you're always afraid you're doing it wrong and will therefore not be accepted. But if trust comes first, then how do you fear God when you "know" He is guiding your decisions?
