Proverbs
9:10. “Fear of the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One
results in understanding.”
The kind of fear mentioned
here refers to a reverent fear or a sense of awe. I often see people trivializing the power of
God or God himself. They make him out to
be numerous different characters. I
believe it influences our perception of who God really is!
When we stop to think about the greatness of
God, we cannot comprehend the vastness or depth or breadth of him. It is more than we are capable of
comprehending and so we often shrink him down to a size or figure that we can
conceive or imagine.
God is Creator of heaven and
earth and you and I and the tiny blossoms of the plethora of flowers and the
huge dinosaurs and everything else. His
vastness is beyond our comprehension and yet he is capable of dwelling in us,
of inhabiting our spirit. A power that
great and yet that small is who the Lord is!
If we have a desire for wisdom and understanding, we cannot ignore this
insight from the Proverbs. Start knowing
God today and he will lead you in wisdom.
Heavenly
Father: I want to know you more, and praise you more and thank you more, for
you are worthy of all thanksgiving and praise.
Help me to know your heart and your ways instead of relying only on
myself. I am in awe of your greatness
and the knowledge you impart on us if we
ask. Grant me the wisdom I need each day
in all I do. In Jesus name, Amen.
