About This Quote
Holy fear of God is to depart from evil. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. We can’t control a lot of things in this life but we can control ourselves, and that is a good thing. When we realize that everything that happens to us has a purpose and that there is a reason behind every action, then we’ll start to live righteously, as God designed us to. We’ll see how blessed we really are because of the many blessings we have been given.
