Proverbs 8:13
We hear about the fear of the Lord in many places throughout the scriptures, but here it is defined. I like that the idea here isn't what we usually associate with the word fear... it isn't about being afraid of God, but about hating evil, which is also interesting, because "hate" isn't usually a word we associate with the gospel either. I think what it means is a respect for God, who is the embodiment of everything good, and avoiding everything bad... because evil is everything that is against God.
Today, let's hold on to the Lord, and reject everything that is evil... and not just reject it behaviorally, but let's get God's help with changing our hearts and learning to also not want anything that is against the Lord.
