'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding' Proverbs 9:19.
In this age of armchair critics, trolls, and political chatter, it is difficult to know what is right and who is righteous. Much is said but little is done by the chatterers. True wisdom comes not from finding someone on Twitter whose posts seem wise simply because they are pretty or philosophical, and following them, but in fearing our Creator.
But what does it mean to fear Him?
This fear is is displayed (lived out) through reverence. And how do we show reverence? By obeying the Word of the Holy One. We do this by first learning of Him and then living by Him so that His love will shine through us and out to the world.
Remember, you will not find wisdom by following people, but in delving into the bible. 'Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls' Matthew 11:29.
