Thursday Reflection: The Foundation of Wisdom
Truly understanding who God is will change our entire outlook on life.
Scripture: Proverbs 9:7-12
In Touch Devotional 23rd February 2023 (Dr Charles Stanley) Message:
Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Initially, however, the connection may not be clear, and we may wonder, How can fearing God make us wise?
First, let’s look at what the expression means. “To fear God” conveys awesome reverence for Him. And that mindset moves us to acknowledge the Lord as the sovereign Ruler of heaven and earth, submit to His will, and walk in obedience.
Those who commit themselves to living for God’s purposes will gain greater understanding of Him. The Holy Spirit will enable them to see circumstances and people from His divine perspective. This kind of wisdom reaches beyond human perception and gives us discernment to make decisions that fit into the Lord’s plans for our life.
What is your attitude toward the Lord? If you truly revere Him, you will listen for His directions and heed His warnings. A desire to honor and please Him will motivate you to turn from evil and seek to live in obedience. And the result will be wisdom beyond human understanding.
Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 6-8
