The Beginning of Wisdom



Today as I ponder the bible scripture Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) "The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." one of the attributes of God comes to mind, omniscient. God is omniscient; all knowing, there is NOTHING he doesn't know, how absolutely amazing. When I think on this truth allowing it to soak deep into the fibers of my being I get goosebumps. God knew from the beginning what to create, how to create, why he would create, and for what period of time his creations would last. There isn't a question that we could ask him, which he couldn't give an answer to.  I find myself in complete awe thinking of his greatness, and that fear of him is only the beginning of wisdom. This is a reverential fear of his all mighty power, knowledge, and presence, that makes me want to come closer and learn more of him. This is the beginning of learning how to relate to and with God through diligently seeking him. The closer I come to God the more his wisdom is poured out onto me. Romans 11:34 " For who has know the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor? His wisdom is not that of books, a teacher, school or training, but simply who he is, and he is wisdom. When we take hold of this truth we will have come to the beginning of Wisdom."
