"Fear of the Lord is the foundation of TRUE WISDOM. All who obey His commandments will grow in TRUE WISDOM!
Have you ever been amazed at the amount of knowledge that some people possess? Think of the $64,000 question show. Do you believe that because someone has a great deal of knowledge that they have TRUE WISDOM? TRUE WISDOM and knowledge are two different things. Just because you have degrees from Universities does not mean you are wise. When politicians and leaders pontificate about how they will solve the problems of the world, do they actually display wisdom? We must beware of those who try to fool us with knowledge while at the same time they are incapable of TRUE WISDOM. How do we know? The fear of the Lord is the foundation of all true wisdom. If they do not fear God, they may have knowledge and learning skills but they will never have TRUE WISDOM!
There is only one foundation and one cornerstone for TRUE WISDOM. To know, love and Fear Jesus Christ the Lord God. True learning and wisdom come from the Word of God. The reverent fear and worship of the Lord God is the beginning of wisdom. The essential element and the prerequisite of any wisdom, in fact its very foundation is found in the FEAR OF THE LORD! The Lord must be first in everything in your life if you are to be considered wise. If you follow the commandments and obey His Word you will be wise. If you walk in His ways and make your path straight to the Lord you will be wise. The beginning of your wisdom is your Fear of God!
Before you believe any political leader, professor or anyone in authority over you, ask yourself this one question. Do they Fear God? Do they love and serve the Lord? Is the Lord and His Word the foundation of their life? Do they obey God's commandments and follow His Laws?
If they do not fear the Lord then they do not have even the beginning of wisdom. Why would you place your trust in such a person? Only a fool says in his heart there is no God, are you listening to a fool? This person does not deserve your allegiance. There are only two groups of people in the world. Those who Fear God, as the foundation of their wisdom, and those who reject God and do not even know Him. TRUE WISDOM is only found in those that Fear, Know and Love God!
