"Being Satisfied"

"O fear the LORD, ye His saints: for there is no want to them that fear Him." (Psalms 34:9) I was wondering, way back on the very first day I began this blog, what is the stronger for obeying God, is it fear or is it love? But if you really take the time to think about it, there are two forms of fear; there is the fear you have of God prior to becoming His child, and then there's the fear you have after; and the fear you have after is grounded in love! When you study John chapter Six, which is an event that is recorded in all four of the Gospels, we see that Jesus feeds more than five thousand people with only five loaves of bread and two small fish; some Bible teachers have figured the number to be upwards to 15,000 people including men, women and children; but the chapter is not really about the miracle of feeding so many people with so little, it's about desiring the right food for your soul and not trying to satisfy the flesh with food that does not last. Knowing all that Jesus has done for us, and believing in all of His eternal promises, we have nothing else that we need to satisfy this soul of ours: we have the privilege of walking in the finished work of Jesus Christ; which for some of us, that might take decades to finally realize what that means, let alone what it actually feels like. The two words for "fear" that are used above, although the same word, they have different properties: the first fear that is used, as in, "O fear the LORD", is a verb and speaks of the action our heart must take towards God, in that we reverence Him in awe, and we respect Him as the avenger of wrong; thereby equipping our hearts to seek out godliness and holiness in our lives; the second fear that is used is an adjective, and is used to express what we are, in that we are 'God-fearing', as in, "one who fears God". In between these two fears we have "His saints", which is who we are in Christ Jesus; whereas, we are holy, clean, and set apart; which is all that this soul of mine requires to be satisfied! Now I can give all my focus to loving God; Right?
"My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of His correction. For whom the LORD loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding." (Proverbs 3:11-13)
