Where Wisdom Begins
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.”
THE FIRST STEP
Every climb has a starting point. Wisdom does not begin with intelligence or experience — it begins with reverence for God.
FEAR IS NOT DREAD
To fear the Lord is to take Him seriously: to marvel at His greatness and love His holiness. It is the awe of knowing whose presence you are in.
KNOWING THE HOLY ONE
Insight is not stockpiling information; it is knowing a Person. The more you know God, the more the world comes into focus.
THE RIGHT BEARING
Start with the fear of the Lord and everything else lines up: priorities, relationships, money, time. The starting point sets the destination.
CLARITY THAT GROWS
Beginning means there is a road ahead. Today's reverence becomes tomorrow's discernment — step by step, all the way to the summit.
REVERENCE BEFORE THE SCREEN
Act: before you pick up your phone today, pause and speak one sentence of reverence to God — who He is, not what you need.
