Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom!

 Dearest Christ followers, in this chapter of Proverbs, we are given the advice on wisdom.

Now, anyone who asks for wisdom will be given it. 

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let his ask of GOD, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him".  James 1:5-6

And according to this Proverb, the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.

So, let us unpack this.  The writer of Proverbs is not talking about being afraid of GOD, this fear is a reverent fear, a healthy fear, which comes from understanding who GOD is.  It is a fear that accompanies the realization of the true nature and character of the FATHER GOD we serve.

Our FATHER is greater than anything we can imagine.  Our FATHER is holier than anyone can ever be.  Our FATHER is more gracious and more loving than anything we can imagine.

When we begin to know GOD, a healthy fear of the power and majesty of our CREATOR FATHER starts to grow.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for who YOU are.  I humbly pray that YOU grant me wisdom to fear YOU reverently.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus blessed today!
