To strengthen our fear of Jehovah, we must consistently make choices that honor Him, much like Joshua and Caleb did when faced with opposition. By focusing on pleasing Jehovah and learning from Bible accounts, we can build our faith and avoid the pitfalls of fear and doubt that led many Israelites to miss the Promised Land. Remember, true courage comes from our love for Jehovah and commitment to His will.
How can we strengthen our fear of Jehovah? (See also picture.)To strengthen our fear of Jehovah, we need to focus on pleasing him in every decision we make. (Ps. 16:8) As you read Bible accounts, ask yourself, ‘If I had been in that situation, what decision would I have made?’ For example, picture yourself listening as the ten Israelite chieftains gave their negative report. Would you have believed the report and given in to the fear of man, or would your love for Jehovah and your desire to please him have won out? An entire generation of Israelites failed to recognize the truth that Joshua and Caleb spoke. As a result, they lost the opportunity to enter the Promised Land.—Num. 14:10, 22, 23
