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.

2 Kings 4:1-7 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves."

So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil."

Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors--empty vessels; do not gather just a few.

"And when you have come in you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones."

So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.

Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So the oil ceased.

Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest."

1 Chronicles 14:14-17 Therefore David inquired again of God, and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them; circle around them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees.

"And it shall be, when you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines."

So David did as God commanded him, and they drove back the army of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer.

Then the fame of David went out into all lands, and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

1 Chronicles 16:23-31 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.

Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place.

Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Give to the LORD glory and strength.

Give to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!

Tremble before Him, a ll the earth. The world also is firmly established. It shall not be moved.

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations," The LORD reigns."

Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.

Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the LORD, For He is coming to judge the earth.

Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

And say, "Save us, O God of our salvation; Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise."

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting!

And all the people said, Amen!" and praised the LORD.
