What are you so afraid of?

I recently had a couple of great times with the Lord: our Regional FCA Prayer and Fasting in Maryland and our National FCA Real Time II in Kansas City. During both of these times (and others like them), the Lord revealed to me how worried, fearful, and anxious my heart often is. Sometimes worry and fear are such a part of my day that I don't even catch that I am doing it.
Yet, there is one thing I am told to fear: Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
My fear of things (like the FCA finances) is an indicator of the fact that I am not really fearing the Lord. To fear Him, means to revere Him. Check out what the 1897 Easton's Bible Dictionary has to say about "Fear of the Lord:"

is in the Old Testament used as a designation of true piety (Prov. 1:7; Job 28:28; Ps. 19:9). It is a fear conjoined with love and hope, and is therefore not a slavish dread, but rather filial reverence. (Comp. Deut. 32:6; Hos. 11:1; Isa. 1:2; 63:16; 64:8.) God is called "the Fear of Isaac" (Gen. 31:42, 53), i.e., the God whom Isaac feared.

A holy fear is enjoined also in the New Testament as a preventive of carelessness in religion, and as an incentive to penitence (Matt. 10:28; 2 Cor. 5:11; 7:1; Phil. 2:12; Eph. 5:21; Heb. 12:28, 29).

As I see you, Lord, for who you truly are, teach me to fear you and you alone!
