Psalm 111:10 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
Where Wisdom Starts
In a world offering shallow, fleeting wisdom, Psalm 111 compels us back to the true starting point – reverence for the Lord.
As we humbly honor God, wisdom blossoms.
Cultivating Awe
Developing a holy awe of the Lord realigns our perspective.
As we grasp His power, otherness, and glory, we find our proper place as dependent creations.
Obedience Opens Eyes
The pathway of wisdom is obeying God’s instructions. As we walk in holiness and truth, we gain insight.
Spiritual understanding arrives through active obedience.
Fear to Wisdom to Praise
This lifelong cycle propels us forward.
Awe of God inspires obedience, obedience yields wisdom, and wisdom overflows in heartfelt praise of our wise, loving Father.
Lord, Teach Me Your Ways
Lord, instill in me a holy awe that drives me to walk closely in Your ways. As I follow Your precepts, flood my heart with wisdom and understanding. May praise, not doubt or fear, be my response as I grow in knowledge of You.
