Wisdom begins here: fear the Lord!

Fear the Lord

Proverbs 1 “It All Begins with Fearing the Lord”

Today we begin our walk through the book of Proverbs. Beloved, know this truth that will guide you step by step through life:

 “It All Begins with Fearing the Lord”

Solomon will instruct us how to discern the fool and the wise man. Thus, Proverbs is a book to garner the unbeliever’s attention to see how he is wallowing in his foolishness and how to turn from his wicked ways to become wise. “Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work.” [2Tim 3:16]

The book of Proverbs will help us learn three things: wisdom, moral instruction (correction or discipline), and how to discern wise counsel. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding and acknowledge him in all your ways…”

As we walk through Proverbs, allow the Holy Spirit to train you practically to discern good and evil. 

 Thus today we choose [Prov 1:7] as our verse for today: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

What verse jumped out at you as you read, and what verse are you meditating on for today?
