If you’re like me, you want to be wise and avoid making foolish mistakes as much as possible. To do this, we need to remember that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It is literally the starting point for living well.
The fear of the Lord is a beautiful thing. It causes us to run to God, not away from Him.
These days there is such an emphasis on doing whatever makes you “happy.” This is worldly wisdom and is complete foolishness. Living for momentary pleasure outside of God’s ways is a recipe for disaster, not a happy life.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7
If you want to live in God’s favor, you must live in radical obedience to Him. Whatever He asks, decide to obey Him.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
God knows what we need more than we do. We cannot afford to do things our own way. He gave us the Bible as our guidebook for life. Dig into it. Get wisdom.
Don't just be an admirer of Jesus. Follow Him. This is how you fear the Lord.
Destiny Key: If Jesus is your Lord, you must say “yes” to whatever He asks you to do. Saying “No, Lord” is an oxymoron.
