God speaks to us through His Word, quickened to us by His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth. It is safe for us to let the Word of God be the 'ruler', the 'measuring line', by which we walk, because it will keep us right and in line with the Lord! There are times we may get thoughts in our hearts, kind of like a 'still, small voice'; God can 'lay something on our hearts' BUT, anything we think we hear we must line up with God's Word. Our natural hearts, God says, are deceitful above all things and desperately wicked! We must not lean on our own understanding, but judge every thought by God's Word.
To fear God mean to 'reverence' God deeply. This godly fear grows as we read God's Word. His Word shows us how glorious He is, how mighty He is, how powerful He is, how truthful He is, how faithful He is, how kind He is, how merciful He is, how gracious He is, how righteous He is, how compassionate He is, how just He is, etc. etc.!!! To know God is to love Him and fear Him, i.e., to stand in awe of His splendid majesty, and submit to His sceptre, and give Him all the glory! Amen!
