“And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:”

Jerimiah 32:39

The one heart and the one way is Christ. (“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6) True saints will have an united heart to fear the Almighty.

This fear is not just some respectful trust or some flip-it thing you have going on. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, to hate evil, prolongeth days, is clean enduring forever, a fountain of life, and much more. Why do the people of God have this (“…for the good of them, and of their children…”) (“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.” Ps. 33:12)   Ask for and unite thy heart to fear the name of the Lord: so that ye and thy children may prosper.
