Fear The Lord

Wednesday February 7, 2024
Fear the Lord. There are several examples in today’s reading where God instructs the actions of one person towards another based on the fear of the Lord.  Here is one, “You are not to cheat one another, but fear your God, for I am the Lord your God” (Leviticus 25:17).  A second one states, “Do not profit or take interest from him, but fear your God and let your brother live among you” (v.36).  And thirdly, we read, “You are not to rule over them harshly, but fear you God” (v.43).  It can be easy to treat others differently because of their status or even based on how they have treated us.  However, the driving force in how we treat others is not based in who the person is or how they have behaved.  The driving force is the fear of the Lord.
