The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Initially the connection between these two concepts may be difficult to grasp. How can fearing God make us wise? “Fear “is used to describe awesome reverence for God that moves us to acknowledge Him as the Sovereign ruler of heaven and earth, submit to His will, and walk in obedience. The result of such response will be the acquisition of wisdom. If we commit ourselves to living for God’s purposes rather than our own, we shall gain better understanding of Him.The Holy Spirit will enable us to see circumstances and people from His divine perspective. This kind of wisdom reaches beyond human perception and gives us a discernment to make decisions that fit into the Lord ‘s plans for our lives. Knowing that He always work for our best interests, we are empowered to walk confidently through both good and bad times. But if we reject God’s instructions we dishonor Him with our refusal to acknowledge His right to rule our lives. It is foolish to rebel against His authority and think we can win. Those who do not fear God will never know real wisdom. What is our attitude towards the Lord? If we truly revere Him, we will listen to His direction and heed His warnings. A desire to honor and please Him will motivate us to turn from evil and seek to live in obedience. The result will be wisdom beyond human understanding. Proverbs 9:10
