Fear God Only 1 Samuel 12:23-1 Chronicles 16:31 NKJV


1 Samuel 12:23-25 "Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and right way.

"Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

"But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king."

2 Samuel 23:2-4 "The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue.

The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me; 'He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the fear of God,

And he shall be like light of the morning when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, Like the tender grass springing out of the earth, By clear shining after rain.'

1 Kings 8:37-43 "When there is a famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; when their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;

"whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, which each one knows the plague of his own heart, and spreads out his hands toward this temple;

"then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for you alone know the hearts of all the sons of men),

"that they may fear You all the days that they live in the land which You gave to our fathers.

"Moreover, concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, but has come from a far country for Your name's sake

"(for they will hear of Your great name and Your strong hand and Your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this temple,

"hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to you, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built  is called by Your name.

1 Kings 18:12-16 "And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from you, that the Spirit of the LORD will carry you to a place I do not know; so when I go to tell Ahab, and he can not find you, he will kill me. But I your servant have feared the LORD from my youth.

"Was it not reported to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD'S prophets, fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

"And now you say, 'Go, tell your master, "Elijah is here." He will kill me!"

Then Elijah said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely present myself to him today."

So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
