Thoughts from daily Bible reading for today- July 13, 2012
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10).
“He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure” (Isaiah 33:6).
Moreover, we mock God when we move away from the language of fear; He is not one to be mocked. So, as devoted followers of Christ, we sow the seeds of respect, reverence, and fear of the Lord. This discipline of faith results in a harvest of holiness, happiness, and wisdom. Fear of Him leads to knowledge of Him. Therefore, bow before Him on your knees in prayer, and seek His face for forgiveness and relational restoration.
Celebrate together with Christ our conquest over sin, sorrow, and death. What is counter-intuitive on earth is intuitive in heaven. Listen to David admonish his son Solomon, who became the wisest man in the world: “As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever” (1 Chronicles 28:9 NASB).
Prayer: What area of my life lacks fear of the Lord, and how can I expose it to accountability?

Amen
Everyone should read this one…loved it and love HIM!!
Thanks! I really can relate to this because I sense a lot of my wisdom from God comes as I develop my AWE of HIM. Developing our AWE of God is essential to our relationship with HIM and I can see in my life that the level of AWE I have for God is equal to the wisdom I walk in. Developing our AWE-GOD enriches our relationship with HIM and opens the door to HIS Wisdom in our lives! I believe there has never been a time as the time such as this that we need to develop our AWE of God, we need to know of GOD, know of His Holiness! What Do We Know Of Holy?

Young folks today don’t know what wisdom is anymore,or truth,or lies themselves.Nor are public schools teaching moral lessons today.Such tragedy!!!!!!Liz
