15 BLACKGOSPEL, FEAR OF THE LORD
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and before honour is humility. Proverbs 15:33 AKJV
DAY 15, FEAR OF THE LORD
The fear of the Lord and fear of God are not the same because they have different intentions. One is intended towards God our Creator, and the other, mankind. The entire book of Proverbs did not mention "fear of God", at all. Not even once. This means that King Solomon's wisdom was based rather on fear of the Lord, the fear of one's neighbour.
Anywhere in the Scripture that the Lord is mentioned, God was always inferred and man was always preferred. Without man, God's work wouldn't be complete. Ex 15:3 says, The Lord is a man of war, the Lord is His name. Here, the Lord is revealed as "a man", not even God, though He is. Just as the entire law is divided into two - love God with all your heart, might and strength, then love your neighbour (in place of) as yourself, so is this fear.
To fear one's neighbour is always love and serve each other in humility as though he were God.
