The Beginning of Wisdom!
The Fear of The LORD is the beginning of Wisdom.
The Fear of The LORD has to do with being in awe of Him.
How does being in awe of Him cause His Wisdom to become real for you?
Awe has to do with worship. To be in awe of Him is to kiss Him for who He really is.
For worship means “to kiss.” It is such a state of mind that a person totally reveres the object of his or her affection.
He has loved you with such passion that He was willing to pour Himself out for you on the Cross at Calvary.
When we lose our passion for someone, we have forgotten why we love.
When we lose our passion for His presence, we have forgotten why we have loved Him.
Therefor He is saying, “Return to Me, and I will return to you!”
Why are we willing to labor for that which does not satisfy?
“The Fear of The LORD is the beginning of Wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.” Psalm 111:10
“The Fear of The LORD is the beginning of Knowledge, but fools despise Wisdom and Instruction.” Proverbs 1:7
