"Fear of the Lord is the foundation of TRUE WISDOM. All who obey His commandments will grow in Wisdom!"
Have you ever been amazed at the amount of knowledge certain contestants have on quiz shows? In order to win the $64,000.00 question you have to know the right answer. Do you think that because someone wins the quiz prize they are wise? TRUE WISDOM is quite another thing from accumulated knowledge and rote answers. If a person has a number of degrees from Universities or colleges must we conclude that they are wise? When you hear politicians pontificate and try to lead their people must we follow them because we believe they are wise? We can not afford to be fooled by the worldly knowledge of men and we must never forget the they have failed to end wars, cure disease, or bring peace to all men! All the collection of men and their knowledge has never equalled TRUE WISDOM!
There is only one foundation and one cornerstone for TRUE WISDOM. That is Jesus Christ the Lord God and His Word. The reverent fear and worship of the Lord is the beginning of true wisdom! What is the prerequisite and first essential element of wisdom? What must proceed everything else in being wise? The fear, knowledge and love of the Lord God must be the first thing in everything. How will you know if you fear God. You will follow His Laws and commandments and you will learn and live out His Word. In short you will do His will and walk in His ways and make a straight path to God! If you are doing these things you will also have TRUE WISDOM!
Before you believe in any political leader, professor, or authority ask yourself this one question. Do they fear God? Do they Love and serve God? Do they know and understand and live their life with God as the foundation of all true wisdom? Do they obey His commandments and laws? If they do not fear the Lord then they do not have even the beginning of wisdom and they do not deserve our allegiance. We must never be fooled, a truly wise person fears and praises the Lord and will endure with Him forever. There are only two groups of people in the world, those that fear God and believe in Him, and those who do not know or fear God and reject Him. TRUE WISDOM is found only in those that fear, know and love the Lord!
