A Spotlight on the Scriptures: Proverbs 1:7: Beginning with Awe

Send us Fan MailThis is a Spotlight on the Scriptures: Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. True Knowledge Begins with GodTo know a thing rightly is to see it as God sees it—to perceive its true nature, not just its surface. That’s what Proverbs is trying to teach us. It doesn’t just hand out wisdom like candy—it points us to the source. All true wisdom, all lasting knowledge, is rooted in God and His Word. Not in trends. Not in opinions. Not in credentials. But in the character and counsel of the Almighty.And Proverbs doesn’t just suggest we fear God—it commands it. Not fear like terror, but fear like reverence. Fear like awe. Fear like taking God seriously. And how do you do that? Not by checking religious boxes. Not by quoting Scripture without surrender. You take God seriously by walking with Him. By knowing Him. By being in relationship with Him.Because wisdom isn’t just information—it’s intimacy. It’s not just knowing facts about God—it’s knowing the heart of God. And when you know Him, you begin to see everything else rightly. That’s true knowledge. That’s holy understanding. That’s the fear of the Lord.This is a Spotlight on the Scriptures  Support the showHave a blessed day, and thanks for listening! Visit my website to learn more at https://www.biblicaltalks.com
