Proverbs 28:14
Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.

Sadly, reverence (trembling before God) and happiness (blessed) are not commonly associated together. The reverent man is often thought to be sour and unpleasant. Nevertheless, to the degree that one can be always reverent, he can be genuinely happy.

Reverence and hardness of heart are set as opposites. A man who hardens his heart will not be a truly reverent man, but he will fall into calamity (trouble) either in this life or the life to come.

Application

How do you see your heart - reverent / hardened? Pray through it.
