Proverbs 1:7 (NKJV) 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
What kind of fear is being referred to here?
This fear does not mean to be terrified of Him, but to have a deep reverence, respect, and awe for Him; knowing His power, His holiness, and His authority.
We can only get this by learning of Him and knowing Him deeply by having a close walk and relationship with Him.
Who wants knowledge? Not everyone.
Some people would rather do things their way, even if they have messed up their lives repeatedly. Even though they have hurt many people around them, they still want it done their way.
But most believers do want His knowledge. They want to know everything about Him, surrendering to Him right from the beginning of saying yes to Him!
Teach us everything about YOU, Lord. We want to know YOU more!
As we learn more about Him each day, we will grow into this verse. It takes time but as we seek God for answers, understanding, and then we see His victory in our situations, we will learn of His faithfulness and His deep love toward us.
The closer we get to Him, the more we will have such a reverent fear toward Him.
He wants all of us to be walking out this verse, that we will have His knowledge that brings wisdom and instruction daily to His children.
Grow closer, and see Who God is!
