Monday Devotion: Proverbs 1
Healthy Fear
----------------
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Last week we talked about the epidemic of American anger, and how anger grows from fear.
But fear of God can be a good thing.
I've ridden motorcycles for decades, thousands and thousands of miles.
It's a great feeling of freedom and exhilaration.
But every SAFE motorcycle rider I know has one thing in common:
Healthy fear.
You have to realize you are vulnerable.
There are awesome forces at play that are much bigger than you.
If you forget that, the universe will remind you.
Keep that in mind and you can relax and enjoy the ride.
There are a lot of awful powers at work today and most of them are bigger and more powerful than you.
But there is one AWESOME power above all others.
It's wise to keep that sense of awe and fear.
Then you can relax and enjoy the ride.
