26 In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.
27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.
Proverbs has said before that God gives good advice that can literally give us life. That support gives us the confidence that we cannot find in ourselves and we can pass that confidence down to our children. On my other blog I recently posted about how thinking someone is watching makes us more moral. As a reader points out, an appropriate respect for God can do the same thing (to our own benefit).
