The Fear of the Lord


Listen Later

Clair, our Community Outreach and Prayer Ministry Director, delves into the book of Proverbs and the life of King Solomon. We're reminded that true wisdom isn't just about knowledge, but about applying God's truth in our lives. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but this 'fear' isn't about terror - it's about awe and reverence. We're challenged to consider: Are we seeking worldly wisdom or godly wisdom? The world tells us to climb higher, but God's wisdom often calls us to go lower and be humble. This countercultural approach to wisdom invites us to trust in God rather than ourselves, to boast in our weaknesses, and to recognize that Jesus is the hero of our story, not us. As we embrace this biblical wisdom, we're encouraged to ask God for it generously, knowing He gives without finding fault. This wisdom isn't just for our benefit, but for the flourishing of those around us too.
