Godly Wisdom

P.J. and Jasmine Hill

To start to be wise, Proverbs tells us we must fear the Lord. However, fear isn’t the same feeling as when someone says they’re afraid of the dark. The Hebrew word means to have great awe of something. It’s a respect and reverence to the LORD that allows us to see things a little more like He does. When we worship Him, the Bible says all other wisdom falls into place. Wisdom is available for those who will seek it and who are willing to listen. Wisdom will make her words known to us.

Questions: What will happen to those who don’t listen to wisdom?

What will happen to people who follow people who don’t listen to wisdom? How would you define wisdom in your own words?

Part of wisdom is admitting we don’t know it all! There is much to learn from God’s word, and asking questions is a wonderful part of the journey. Who is someone in your life you can ask to seek out answers to your questions?

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

Proverbs 1:7 NKJV
