Notes on Wisdom 1

Proverbs 9:10

“For the reverence and fear of God are basic to all wisdom.”

When I read this in the Children’s Living Bible, I simply loved both its simplicity and depth.  Reverence means to be considered important, held in high esteem and greatly respected.  The type of fear we should have of God should be an “awe” fear not one in which we are only to be afraid of Him.  Please don’t get that twisted.

Ok.  I just read it again.  Wow!  Wise people respect God.  Since Jehovah God is Omnipotent (All Knowing) being in a relationship with Him gives us access to His Secrets and His Wisdom.  WOW!

Please see Psalm 25:14, if you don’t believe me.  It reads, from The Living Bible, “Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence Him.  With them alone He shares the secrets of His Promises.”

How so very cool is that?  

I got excited when I first read that.  I thought, “WHAAAT?  This means that I, little ole Lori Sithole, can actually have a ‘Direct Connect’ to Our Maker, Creator of heaven and earth, The Almighty God of the Universe, through His Son, Jesus The Christ?”

“Yes, please.  I’d like that.  Thank you!”

I’d love to hear your thoughts.  Please post them below.  Thank you!

Be Abundantly Blessed, Child of God!
