This is devotional thought number 44 in our devotional series titled, “Wisdom for the Ages.”
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: And the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10).
In another devotional thought not too long ago, we explored the fact that Scripture defines the fear of the Lord as departing from evil and giving all honor due our God. Those who fear the Lord, in this sense, are not afraid of Him. They are in reverential awe of Him and show deference in all things. They are learning to detest all the evil God detests, and thus those who respect God in this way are well on their way to receiving the fullness of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
The wisdom, which Jesus epitomizes comes to all those who worship God and ask Him for it. Inspiration says, “But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed around by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, since he is a double-minded individual, unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:5–8, NET). Interestingly, David said it this way, “I have more understanding than all my teachers: For thy testimonies are my meditation.” (Psalm 119:99). These passages further make the point that God loves supplying His grace, wisdom, and understanding to anyone who submits to Him.
One thing we often miss when discussing this topic is that God is intimately present when we have relationship with Him. When we seek Him with all our hearts, we are not seeking the broadness and depth His holy mind only. We are seeking a forever bond with Him. Through this lasting bond and deep relationship, we can experience the fullness of His wisdom and understanding. It is a holistic approach that transforms our lives, and not a cerebral approach that fosters human pride.
A word to the foolish is wasteful. A word to the wise is sufficient.—L. David Harris (www.LDavidHarris.com)
