When your character is grounded in the fear of the Lord, it changes how you work. 0:59 (6) You don’t strive to serve your own ends or to please other people, but instead you take actions based on God’s character. For example, you can praise other people’s work rather than taking all the credit for yourself. The fear of the Lord can also lead you to forgive your coworkers when they make a mistake, or speak up about something that’s wrong in your workplace.
