Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Wisdom. It’s is a virtue sought after by those in high positions like kings and presidents to those in lowly positions like shepherds and ordinary people. But the way you get it, isn’t by reading the dusty pages of ancient tomes, it’s by bending your knees in front of an awesome God. That one act of submission starts a posture of the heart that will inevitably shape your actions, decisions, and your attitude for the rest of your life. And it will lead to a knowledge that isn’t contained in the pages of books, but in the heart of a good God. Without it, you risk becoming a fool who hates wisdom and instruction. Instead, choose to follow the path for wisdom, but remember it’s paved in reverence and awe.
