The Fear of the Lord

Day 30 of 365  •  FAITH

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Proverbs 9:10 (ESV)

Proverb Truth

When I was younger, I thought wisdom came from age. Now I think wisdom comes from humility. The wisest people I’ve known were also some of the most humble.

They understood something many people miss.

God is God. And we are not.

The fear of the Lord isn’t about being afraid. It’s about reverence. It’s recognizing that God’s wisdom is greater than ours and trusting Him enough to follow His ways.

Jesus in Action

Everything Jesus did flowed from His love and reverence for the Father.

His life reflected complete trust and obedience.

Forged Wisdom

Musonius Rufus believed that living according to truth was the highest pursuit.

Solomon would agree.

The No Limits Challenge

Begin each day this week with gratitude and surrender.

Prayer

Father, teach me to walk humbly before You. Help me trust Your wisdom above my own. Amen.
