“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7)
When building a house, the foundation is paramount. If that foundation is unstable, no matter how well-crafted the rest of the structure may be, it will eventually crumble. The same principle applies to wisdom and knowledge. Scripture teaches that the foundation of true knowledge begins with the fear of the Lord.
This “fear of the Lord” signifies a deep reverence for His authority and a profound trust in His Word and commands. When I place my faith in the Lord and accept His truth, I establish my life on an unshakable foundation. Conversely, if I disregard His teachings and lean solely on my thoughts and feelings, I risk constructing a life that is inherently unstable. The wonderful truth is that God can transform our lives, regardless of how shaky our foundation may seem, and place us on The Foundation—Jesus Christ. Trusting in Him ensures that we remain steadfast, providing us with a sense of stability that helps us withstand the pressures of the world. Through Christ, we discover a renewed joy and peace that flows from standing on solid ground.
“The foundation of wisdom for all believers is rooted in a deep reverence for the Lord.”
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I recognize that I often build my life on fleeting emotions and limited understanding. Help me cultivate a healthy reverence for You and trust wholeheartedly in Your Word. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I am equipped to face life’s challenges and live victoriously through Jesus. Lord, I also want to express gratitude for our mothers and the wisdom they imparted. Please be close to those sons and daughters who no longer have their mothers with them; may they feel Your love and presence surrounding them. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
