Audio Version
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) – “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”
The fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. This fear is not terror or dread, but deep reverence, honour, and submission to God. When a person truly fears the Lord, they choose His will above their own, value His Word, and align their actions with His standards.
Wisdom begins at the point where God is honoured. Many pursue intelligence, knowledge, and skills, yet lack wisdom because they do not revere the Lord. But when the fear of the Lord governs your life, wisdom naturally flows in your decisions, your relationships, and your conduct.
Today, choose to walk in the fear of the Lord. Let reverence for God guide what you say, how you think, what you do, and the choices you make. As you do, wisdom will increase in your life and you will enjoy understanding that comes from knowing the Holy One.
Hold on to this prophetic declaration from Prophet Isaiah Macwealth:
I declare that the fear of the Lord will increase in your life. You will grow in wisdom and understanding, and your decisions will align with God’s perfect will.
