What is the relationship between fear of the Lord and confidence?

Answered in 1 source

The fear of the Lord fosters strong confidence in God's promises and presence in the believer's life.

Scripture reveals that in the fear of the Lord, there is strong confidence and a place of refuge for believers. This paradox exists because true reverence for God leads to a deeper trust in His character and a secure hope in His promises. Rather than causing anxiety, the fear of God enables believers to rely on His sovereignty and care. When believers rightly understand the fear of the Lord, they become anchored in faith, recognizing that their refuge is found in Christ, who fulfilled all requirements of righteousness on their behalf.
