The Beginning Of Wisdom

“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 beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. What an interesting concept!

Most of us want to grow in wisdom and understanding, and the way we start to grow in wisdom is by fearing the Lord. The fear of the Lord is a beautiful thing. It is not a spooky, scary fear. It is a reverent, beautiful fear.

It is when we begin to come to a place where we see Him for who He truly is and realize we have no business being in His presence, yet He invites us in any way.

The fear of the Lord is giving Him the honor and respect due to His name.

It is realizing how pure, perfect, and holy He is and responding in worship because there is no other response.

If we want to grow in wisdom, we must start by growing in the fear of the Lord. To grow in the fear of the Lord, we must learn more about Him and His ways. As we do that, our understanding of Him will grow, and we will come to a place of praise and worship.

To grow in our understanding and start this beautiful journey, we must dive deep into our Bibles and learn all we can about Him daily.

As we begin to know Him more, our other unhealthy fears will fade away, and we will grow in the healthy fear of the Lord. Our lives will be forever changed!
