The Beginning of Wisdom


Listen Later

Scripture:

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” — Proverbs 9:10


Fear is something we all understand.


For some, it’s heights.

For others, speed.

Or maybe the discomfort of not being able to see what’s ahead.


Often, fear is tied to uncertainty — a lack of control or visibility.


But when Scripture speaks of “the fear of the Lord,” it is not describing panic or dread. It is describing reverence. A deep awareness of who God is — His holiness, authority, power, and wisdom.


In this episode of Digging Another Well, we explore what it truly means to fear the Lord and why wisdom begins there. Reverence reminds us that God sees what we cannot see. That His ways are higher. That His understanding surpasses ours.


Wisdom begins when we stop assuming we know best.

It begins when we trust the One who does.


If you’re facing uncertainty or walking through a season where the path feels unclear, this devotional invites you to replace self-reliance with reverent trust.


In This Episode


  • The difference between fear as panic and fear as reverence
  • Why wisdom begins with acknowledging God’s authority

  • Trusting God when the path ahead feels dark


Reflection Questions


  • Where are you currently relying on your own understanding?
  • Does your view of God reflect reverence — or familiarity without awe?
  • How might acknowledging His authority change your next decision?
