Numbers 3:39, 43, 46, 47, 50 – Throughout history God has used people of various professions. Even accountants can be used for precise work in God’s service!
Mark 12:12 – Everything works for God’s plan, even fear of the crowds!
Psalm 47 – We see a repetition format of synonymous parallelism:
- Clap/shout
- Terrible*/great
- people/nations
- inheritance/excellency
- shout/trumpet
- God/King
- (no easily discernible parallelism)
- reigneth/sitteth
- princes/people
*Most people associate terrible with “extremely or distressingly bad” but it also is “causing or likely to cause terror.” There is a healthy fear of the Lord that is the beginning of wisdom!
Proverbs 10:24 – In contrast to the Fear of the Lord, Proverbs warns about the fear of the wicked.
