Chris.
If we Fear the Lord we can experience more protection from harm. The reason for this is that if we Fear the Lord then we do our utmost to Obey Him and to Please Him. Obedience to the Lord is not mystical. God’s Word clearly teaches us the way to live and behave. If we follow the Word of God in the Revelation and Understanding that we have of it, then we can live and be confident that we experience all things in the Will of God.
