Wisdom

Wisdom comes from one on one interaction with God.

Proverbs 9:10

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Why is this true:

The fear the Lord is to admit the awe of God, to realize the incredible force for good that He is, to be awe stuck by who He is and what He is, the great I Am.  That is what it means to fear the Lord.

Realization

When you start to realize the meaning of the verse 2 Corinthians 12:8-10, Where  Paul said, “Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”  This verse is but one example of how powerful our Father is and our feelings of respect or reverence mixed with dread and wonder  inspired by His majestic or powerful being. The power and effect of AWE is the reason the “fear” of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and makes our weakness become strength.  Again, why?  Because once you “fear” Him, hold Him in "AWE", you want to know more about Him, you start spending time with Him, you learn His voice and He shares things with you that you previous didn’t know. 

Jeremiah 33:3

God says, “ call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”

My question for you today:

Do you fear the Lord?  Only you can answer truthfully for yourself. 

Remember,

The battle is real and the consequences are eternal!
