Fear and Glory
27 Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain;
it offers escape from the snares of death.
28 A growing population is a king’s glory;
a prince without subjects has nothing.
Verse 27
God protects people who respect him. Even their families can benefit. See Psalm 46 and 2 Timothy 1:5.
Verse 28
Solomon was a king. If there were many people in a country, then there would be a large army. The country could win wars. Or the country could be at peace, because nobody would attack it. Solomon wanted peace for his country.
Besides being wisdom and a secure fortress, the fear of God is a fountain of life. Earlier, I talked about the song, “I’ve got a river of Life flowing out of me.” Do you have that fountain of life flowing out from you to help others?
Verse 28 says that having many subjects is the glory of a ruler. However, if a ruler loses the loyalty of many of his subjects through unwise rule, his realm will be destroyed.
Let me ask you: People who don’t know God can come to know Him through people who are fountains of Life. Do you have a river of Life flowing through you?
