The key to wisdom


You could achieve many goals, you could learn a lot, but if you miss the essence of life you will be a fool. The fear of the Lord is what puts you in the right position. It teaches you that you are not your own god. It teaches you not to trust in yourself 100%. It teaches you to submit yourself to instruction and discipline to become the best person you can be. If you ignore God, you will never achieve your full potential.

“The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning and the principal and choice part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; but fools despise skillful and godly Wisdom, instruction, and discipline.” (Prov. 1:7 AMP)

Prayer: Don’t let me be foolish. Help me to cultivate the fear of You. Let me always acknowledge your holiness, honor and superiority. Help me to be humble and recognize that I am
just human. Help me to submit to your wisdom, instruction and discipline. Help me to always be transformed by the work of your Holy Spirit.
