“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.” Psalm 111:10
The fear of the Lord is a recognition deep in your heart that God has power and dominion over all things and your destiny is in His hands. It is understanding that God blesses and curses. He is a God of retribution.
The fear of the Lord is an awareness of the weakness of your inner nature. You were born in bondage to sin and live in rebellion against the ways of God. You have no hope for life without God. He is your lifeline to eternal life, forgiveness of sins, and living in His righteousness.
The wisdom of God will come to you when you understand and accept God for who He is and make a decision to abandon yourself to Him. The goal is to be dead to sin and alive to God!
You can only come to know God by seeking Him out through prayer, filling yourself with His Word, and coming into oneness with His Spirit. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you!
The wisdom of God will be imparted to you through the Holy Spirit who lives in all believers. He will teach you the ways of God and guide you into His perfect pathway.
Thought for the day:
“Fear Me for who I am! I am a God of greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty. There is no one like Me. Come to Me by faith in My Word and I will share the fullness of My life with you. I live so you can live.”
