01/04 Proverbs 1:7
7 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
REVERENCE
Fear of the Lord is reverent awe of God’s power, authority, and holiness.
We love Him and honor Him and obey Him.
This fear of God is basic to acquire knowledge of Him.
We are seeking knowledge for decision making and living life.
Only a fool would reject the process of knowing God.
God’s discipline and teaching molds our character,
And gives us understanding.
All true knowledge and wisdom come from God.
Fools despise wisdom and knowledge.
They refuse a relationship with God.
The wise seek the Lord and obey Him.
