Fear of the Lord is the beginning of life!

 Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The bible is clear, fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom! Putting God in His rightful position, as our number one, at the centre of every area of our lives, that's when God will impart His wisdom on us. Remember Proverbs 3:5-6 that says lean not in your own understanding...That's why the bible says, fools, despise wisdom and instruction. God gives us instructions that we need to follow, guidance to the path that leads us to the kingdom of light, which is why fools will be uncomfortable with that, as they prefer to lean on their own knowledge and understanding...

God has given us choices in life, good or evil. Path to righteousness or to destruction. The trick is that, the route to the kingdom of light, seems rough and a hill to climb; which is why the bible refers to it as a narrow gate, many people choose not to go this route. Everybody wants to rely on their wisdom and knowledge, to be logical. Which is opposite to what God says, which at times is uncomfortable and you may seem like a fool (think of Noah telling people about building an ark!), BUT in a long run, you will be secured under His wings. You will be taken care of as God sees beyond the present. In a long run, you have inheritance waiting on you... 

May we constantly ask for God's spirit to help us discern and make the right choices. May we constantly ask for His wisdom, like king Solomon did, that will lead to life!
