“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7). The
Lord calls to us as the voice of wisdom, ‘Turn to Me when I warn you. I
will generously pour out My Spirit for you. I will make My words known
to you” (Proverbs 1:23). “The Lord gives wisdom … Wisdom will come into
your heart … Wisdom will save you from the way of evil … So walk in the
way of good people and stay on the paths of righteous people” (Proverbs
2:6,10,12,20). Trusting the Lord and fearing the Lord belong together:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart … Fear the Lord, and turn away
from evil” (Proverbs 3;5,7). Wisdom brings great blessing into our
lives: “Blessed is the one who finds wisdom and the one who obtains
understanding. The profit gained from wisdom is greater than the profit
gained from silver. Its yield is better than fine gold. Wisdom is more
precious than jewels” (Proverbs 3:13-14).
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
