Where Wisdom Begins
Scripture
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.” Proverbs 1:7
For Further Study: Read Proverbs 1:1-7
Prayer
Lord, Your Word tells us that the fear of You is the beginning of wisdom. Remind us that wisdom doesn't begin with having all the answers or knowing exactly what we should do. It begins with knowing You—honoring You, trusting You, and recognizing that Your ways are always higher than ours.
Help us to come to You with teachable hearts. When we think we know what is best, slow us down. When we are tempted to rely only on our own understanding, remind us that we don't see the whole picture. Give us the humility to listen, the courage to follow, and the wisdom to recognize Your voice.
Lord, we don't want to simply know about You. We want our relationship with You to shape the way we think, speak, and live. Teach us to seek Your wisdom before our own and to trust that obedience to You is never wasted.
May our lives reflect that we are people who know where true wisdom begins. Keep our hearts humble, our spirits teachable, and our eyes fixed on You. In Jesus’ name - Amen.
