Psa_34:11. Address to Children<\/p>\n
"Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will each you the fear of the Lord."’97Psa_34:11<\/p>\n
The passage contains,<\/p>\n
I. A Request.<\/p>\n
And,<\/p>\n
II. A Promise.<\/p>\n
Notice<\/p>\n
I. The Request.<\/p>\n
Notice,<\/p>\n
1. The request is made to children.<\/p>\n
"Come, ye children," &c.<\/p>\n
Children should be the objects of our special attention. God has commended them to us. Immortal, exposed to imminent peril, objects of divine care, Christ’s regards, &c.<\/p>\n
2. The request itself is for them to hearken.<\/p>\n
May be considered as the language of the Christian minister’97pious teacher’97the affectionate parent’97or of the blessed God himself, who wishes children to seek his favor, &c. Hearken seriously’97attentively; hearken all of you, &c.<\/p>\n
Observe,<\/p>\n
II. The Promise made.<\/p>\n
"I will teach you the fear of the Lord."<\/p>\n
I will teach you,<\/p>\n
1. In what it consists.<\/p>\n
Two sorts of fear. A guilty and a filial fear; former Cain, Belshazzar, &c, had. The latter is the fear of offending him; a fear full of holy love to him, and which always produces obedience.<\/p>\n
I will teach you,<\/p>\n
2. Why you should fear him.<\/p>\n
Because,<\/p>\n
(1) He ought to be feared. So great, glorious, fearful: his smile, life; his frown, death, &c. He can raise to heaven, or sink to hell.<\/p>\n
(2) He has commanded you to fear him See Psa_33:8; Pro_22:17; Isa_8:13; Mat_10:28; Rev_14:7.<\/p>\n
(3) Angels fear him. Worship him with faces covered, &c.<\/p>\n
(4) All good men have feared him. Noah, Abraham, Job, Joseph, &c.<\/p>\n
I will teach you,<\/p>\n
3. The advantages of fearing God.<\/p>\n
There is no want to them that fear him. He will pity’97have his eyes upon you for good. Angels will encamp round about you; it shall always be well with you; shall be the Lord’s when he maketh up his jewels.<\/p>\n
I will teach you,<\/p>\n
4. How to obtain the fear of the Lord.<\/p>\n
Read his holy word with seriousness and attention; pray daily to him in the name of Jesus Christ: avoid all evil company, and trust in the operation of his Holy Spirit I will teach you,<\/p>\n
5. What will become of you, if you do lot fear him.<\/p>\n
You will fear when it is too late; be the objects of his displeasure; and perish forever.<\/p>\n
Application<\/p>\n
The evidences of fearing God will be heard in your conversation, and seen in your conduct at home, school, abroad, &c.<\/p>\n
