Another relationship between the fear of the Lord and trusting in him:
Psalms 33:19 - The eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and hope in his unfailing love
Verse starts out talking about the vanity of trusting in the army, own strength, or even of a horse
Why should we trust in him? Proceeding verse tell us
His mighty power in creation; His absolute sovereignty over nations
As we become convicted of His greatness, we will fear him - stand in awe of him - trust in him
We can not separate trust in God from the fear of God
We will trust Him only to the extent that we genuinely stand in awe of Him
The history of the Hebrews - how poorly they learned to fear Him
Psalms 78:32 - Through all the things God did; they did not trust him
God works everyday - one way we remind ourselves of his mighty acts is reading the historical sections of the Old Testament
Key Phrase: As we become convicted of His greatness, we will fear him
