Proverbs

Did you know that fatty deposits on your heart are not soft fat (like you might have seen in a cellulite collection container), but hard fat? It literally makes it harder for your heart to pump.

Did you know that in the Bible, God talks about people and their hearts getting hard?

Did you know that in the Bible, God talks about calloused hearts?

References to hard hearts.

Fear God

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Proverbs 9:10 (New International Version)

I open with that Proverb because today's little essay is about fearful things. The United States of America is entering an election season, so I thought it would be appropriate to quote some strong passages from Isaiah about leadership.
