Fear of the Lord

These words from Proverbs echo in my mind.
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the holy is understanding."
Is that the answer to the problems of our age?
Have we lost our fear?
Not soul-wrenching terror that drives out reason,
But the awe of God's power and glory,
The knowledge that all life flows from God
And would not exist without God.
Help me to know the fear of the Lord
And so gain understanding.
