"Fear of the Lord is the foundation of all TRUE WISDOM. All who obey His commandments will grow in wisdom!"
Do you consider yourself wise? Did you ever watch the $64,000.00 question, or any other quiz show and become amazed at the amount of knowledge that a contestant had? Would you call the contestant wise? Perhaps you know someone with a number of degrees that has graduated from a college or university. Do you think therefore that they are wise? When you listen to politicians or leaders pontificate or argue among themselves, do you think they are wise? The One Truth Today is to point out that TRUE WISDOM has a firm foundation. Worldly knowledge or memory ability are not wisdom. A parrot is not wise! If educated men were truly wise then why is there still disease, war, and chaos in the world? What is TRUE WISDOM?
There is only one foundation and one true cornerstone of TRUE WISDOM and that belongs to the Lord. The beginning of wisdom is the Fear of God. That is correct, the fear, knowledge, and love of God are the foundation of TRUE WISDOM. When we know the Word of God and obey His commandments we will grow in wisdom. The reverent fear and worship of Jesus Christ the Lord God gives us the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. What allows our wisdom to grow is the continual obedience and study of His Word. The essential prerequisite for our being wise is to fear the All Mighty God. If you fear the Lord you will listen to His Word and you will do His Will. Does that describe you? Do you have TRUE WISDOM?
Before you listen and believe any political leader, professor or teacher, television or radio personality, ask yourself this one question. Do they know, fear and love the Lord God! If they have no fear of the Lord and they do not love Him, then they do not even have the beginning of wisdom. They have no foundation of understanding of true knowledge so why would you listen to them? Do not be fooled by a fool! TRUE WISDOM comes from those who have a foundation of fear, love and knowledge of the Lord. If they obey His commandments they will grow in wisdom and should have your respect. The world is divided into to two groups of people, those who fear God and obey His commandments, and those who reject God and refuse to bow their knees to the Living God. The first group have wisdom and eternal life. The second group have separation from God and eternal chaos and damnation. Who are the fools and who have TRUE WISDOM?
