I know that full well.15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

Fear the Lord
And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in
obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

with you to keep you from sinning.”

9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his
household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds
are spread throughout the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he
will surely curse you to your face.”
1 Samuel 13:5-14
5 The Philistines assembled to fight Israel, with three thousand[c] chariots, six thousand charioteers,
and soldiers as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Mikmash, east of
Beth Aven. 6 When the Israelites saw that their situation was critical and that their army was hard
pressed, they hid in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns. 7 Some Hebrews even
crossed the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead.Saul remained at Gilgal, and all the troops with him
were quaking with fear. 8 He waited seven days, the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to
Gilgal, and Saul’s men began to scatter. 9 So he said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the fellowship
offerings.” And Saul offered up the burnt offering. 10 Just as he finished making the offering,
Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to greet him.11 “What have you done?” asked Samuel.Saul replied,
“When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the
Philistines were assembling at Mikmash, 12 I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me
at Gilgal, and I have not sought the Lord’s favor.’ So I felt compelled to offer the burnt
offering.”13 “You have done a foolish thing,” Samuel said. “You have not kept the command
the Lord your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all
time. 14 But now your kingdom will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and
appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the Lord’s command.”
Daniel 3:16-18
16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend
ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is
able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us[c] from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does
not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold
you have set up.”
Genesis 20:11
Abraham replied, “I said to myself, ‘There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill
me because of my wife.’

6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”
But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against
him.”7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he
claimed to be the Son of God.8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9 and he went
back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.
Acts 5:1-10
Ananias and Sapphira
5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his
wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the
apostles’ feet.3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have
lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the
land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your
disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to
God.”5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had
happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and
buried him.7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked
her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”
9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men
who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”10 At that moment she fell
down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and
buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about
these events.
Revelation 16:8-11
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with
fire. 9 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over
these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the
throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in
agony 11 and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to
repent of what they had done.
Luke 8:12
Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from
their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

you.
