Fear of the Lord
Wisdom Hunter 11/21/2016
“Who will not fear You, Lord, and bring glory to Your name? For You alone are holy.” – Revelation 15:4
The fear of the Lord is fundamental to finding wisdom. Without awe of the Almighty, there is no access to His insight. Where reverence for His holiness is void, there is lack of understanding in the ways of God. The first step in acquiring wisdom from almighty God is to fear Him (Proverbs 9:10). There is a worship of the Lord’s majesty and a dread of His judgment.

We are bombarded with Santa Claus and snowmen.

A king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse is a vain hope for victory, and by its great might it cannot save. – Psalm 33:16-17
We are tempted to put our hope and trust in countless things: military might, economic strength, education and beauty – to name just a few. Each of these offers a promise of significance, success, and safety. Yet, if we have learned anything from history; we know that armies are defeated, economies can crumble, and beauty is fleeting (Proverbs 31:30).
