Knowing God

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10 HCSB

Fearing the Lord is not like fearing cancer ie hoping you never get it or fearing bankruptcy. Fear here is deep respect. It is knowing that God, the One who holds the universe together, is capable of holding your world together.

Please note: it is the beginning of wisdom. Someone who holds God in His rightful place is wise. Someone who seeks God's presence above all others is wise. Someone who seeks His word above all others is wise.

When you know God you understand a lot more than when you operate out of your own limited knowledge. Amen! You start to understand His ways, His thoughts and attitudes and if you are really smart, begin to adopt these ways.

Knowing God is the best thing you can do for yourself. Amen!
