Question: You might ask: What does “the fear of the Lord” mean?敬畏耶和華是甚麼意思?

Answer: The fear of the Lord means that you have very deep respect for God in everything you do.
You think about “Will it make God happy if I do certain things or take certain actions?”
That is the basic meaning of “the fear of the Lord.”

Why does having fear for the Lord bring knowledge?
I believe when we have fear for the Lord we will have more humble attitudes and that will make us more willing to listen and learn from others. In the Bible there are many verses that talk about a hardened heart that results in foolishness. Just like the Pharaoh did not listen to Moses which resulted in many disasters to happen on his country and family which we can see in the book of Exodus. So we should try to honor God first in all we do and it will lead us to wisdom.
