The fear of the LORD is not just a warning to avoid evil — it is life-giving, like a flowing spring. It actively sustains and protects. The one who walks in reverence of God is kept from the snares of death that lie along every other path.
Memory phrase: Fear God. Find life.
Talk about it: What is a fountain, and why is it a good picture of what honouring God does for you?
Prayer: God, keep me away from death's traps.
