In it, he reviewed their history and gave direction for their future. In one sentence (Deuteronomy 10:12) he summed up what the Bible considers to be the entire purpose of human existence: ‘And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God demand of you? Only this: to revere (fear) the Lord your God, to walk only in His paths, to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and soul.’” “The Hebrew word for ‘revere’ is (yirah) which is usually translated as ‘fear,’ and that for ‘love’ is (aha'vah). These two concepts, although they may seem contradictory at first glance, are the essence of Judaism's view of man's attitude to God.” “The ‘fear’ referred to is not the fright or scaredness which a person feels when he is confronted, for example, with a hungry lion. It is rather a feeling of awe or reverence felt when witnessing greatness or grandeur. The view of a major natural wonder, for instance, is breathtaking and inspires the beholder with awe. It is this kind of feeling that is meant by the ‘fear of God’; that is, awe at the thought of the infinity and greatness of God.” (Encyclopedia Judaica Jr.)

Come Follow Me lessons this week come from D&C 6-9

Before you ask the Lord for direction/revelation, ask these 3 questions frist

1. Why do I want to know

2. If God gives me direction am I willing to follow

3. What difference would it make in my life if I could hear the Lord more consistently

Joseph Smith translating with Oliver Cowdery as scribe, they completed about 9 pages a day.  When the King James of the Bible was being translated from Hebrew and Greek, it took 47 Biblical Scholars that were doing the translating working for 7 years, averaging on a good day translating to do one page, to complete the translating.
