The wise man fears (respects, reveres, and lives in awe of) God. He looks to God for truth. So the wise man finds out what God says in His Word about life, about good and evil. And then the wise man does the good and departs from evil.
FEAR NOT: God has a ‘Prison’ Reserved for You too
What if God changes our careers, turns our lives upside-down, inside-out and reassigns us to a dungeon somewhere far away?
