The Fear of the Lord as the Beginning of Wisdom

🕊️ "Wisdom doesn’t come from having all the answers. It comes from knowing the One who does."

Episode Overview

Where does true wisdom begin? Not the kind of knowledge that fills your mind but the wisdom that transforms your heart, guides your steps, and aligns you with what truly matters. Today, we dive into the profound truth of Proverbs 9:10—“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

The fear of the Lord isn’t about fear as we know it; it’s about reverence, awe, and placing God at the center of our lives. When we acknowledge His greatness and trust His ways over our own, we open the door to wisdom that transcends human understanding.

Join me as we explore how living in awe of God can reshape your perspective and lead you closer to His heart.

Reflection Questions

1. What does the “fear of the Lord” mean to you, and how can it deepen your relationship with Him?
2. In what areas of your life are you trying to take control instead of trusting God’s wisdom?
3. How can reflecting on God’s greatness bring clarity to a decision or challenge you’re facing?

Practical Next Steps

1. Pause to Reflect: Spend five minutes today reflecting on God’s greatness—His power, love, and holiness.
2. Surrender in Prayer: Identify one area of your life where you need to trust God more and pray for the courage to let Him lead.
3. Memorize Proverbs 9:10: Keep this verse in your heart and let it guide your decisions this week.
