“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” – Proverbs 9:10
Fear God!
That is the conclusion of the matter.
This is without prejudice to how successful you are in life.
If you don’t have due regard for God or acknowledge His existence, you are adjudged by the scriptures as lacking in wisdom and understanding.
In today’s world lie misplaced definitions and interpretations for this subject matter.
Not with the diffusion of religions and proliferation of religious bodies and groups globally propagating doctrines just as numerous.
With so many being led astray, a key question to ponder is where can the TRUTH be found.
God has not left Himself without a witness.
As a matter of fact and rightly put, witnesses.
Starting with the creation and all of nature that testifies to His existence and goodness, to the inner voice within man (woman).
The shreds of evidence are intense for the discerning and open-minded.
One of the ironies of life is that fools ride on horseback as princes take their place journeying by foot.
But this does not automatically confer wisdom on the foolish.
Nor does it allude to the dignified as being brutish.
True wisdom, which is from above, begins with the fear of the Lord.
Just as understanding is embodied in the knowledge of the Most High.
These combined are firm pillars around which true salvation evolves.
Fear God and be wise.
Acknowledge the Holy One and gain insight.
Stay blessed.
