Wisdom Journey- Week 1
The Fear of the Lord: The Beginning of Wisdom
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10
The book of Proverbs teaches us that wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord. This does not mean living in terror of God, but living with deep reverence, humility, and obedience to Him.
By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life. Proverbs 22:4
A reverent heart understands that we are not the center of the universe. God is. The fear of the Lord teaches us to surrender our pride and walk in dependence upon Him.
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil. Proverbs 8:13
A reverent heart cannot grow comfortable with sin. The fear of God changes the way we think, speak, and live because we recognize that He is holy and worthy of our wholehearted devotion.
Fear of the Lord = Wisdom = Life
As a church family, let’s ask the Lord to search our hearts this week:
- Are we treating God casually or reverently?
- Do our choices reflect that we truly believe He is holy?
- Are we more concerned with pleasing God or pleasing people?
- Is there any area of compromise we have stopped grieving over?
Wisdom begins when we see God the way we should.
This week, spend time slowly reading Proverbs chapters 1–3. Ask the Lord to teach you what it means to walk in the fear of Him. Ask God to give you a sincere reverence and obedient love.
