Why?: As Bible teachers, we want to teach wisdom. But, where do we begin?

What?: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” That truth is echoed throughout the wisdom literature in the Bible. Wisdom begins with knowing who God is and who we are in relation to Him. The wise person begins with a heart properly disposed toward God. In contrast, Psalm chapter 14, verse 1 tells us, “The fool says in his heart, there is no God.”

So What?: If we, as Bible teachers, are going to teach wisdom, we must begin by teaching a proper understanding of the true God, the One who reveals Himself in the Bible.

So What Now?: Does your wisdom have the right beginning point? Is “the fear of the Lord” the beginning of your wisdom? Read through the wisdom books of the Bible to see how you might be transformed so that you might be used to transform others.
