Wisdom, does not come from mere knowledge, but is given to those who know and revere God. Just because someone is smart, doesn’t mean that they are wise! (See notes below)
1:7 The fear of the LORD.
The overarching theme of this book and particularly the first 9 chapters is introduced—reverence for God (see v. 29; 2:5; 3:7; 8:13; 9:10; 14:26, 27; cf. also Job 28:28; Ps 34:11; Ac 9:31).
This reverential awe and admiring, submissive fear is foundational for all spiritual knowledge and wisdom (cf. 2:4–6; 9:10; 15:33; Job 28:28; Ps 111:10; Ecc 12:13).
While the unbeliever may make statements about life and truth, he does not have true or ultimate knowledge until he is in a redemptive relationship of reverential awe with God.
Note the progression here:
1) teaching about God;
2) learning about God;
3) fearing God;
4) knowing God; and
5) imitating God’s wisdom.
The fear of the Lord is a state of mind in which one’s own attitudes, will, feelings, deeds, and goals are exchanged for God’s (cf. Ps 42:1).
May we see through lens of Jesus. May we have compassion on those who are broken, just as we are broken. May we take comfort in our Lord, who cares deeply for us, in this road that we travel. May Jesus name be lifted up, in spite of our weakness, since He makes the weak, strong.

It is our HEART, that the Lord is interested in, not checking off a box, that WE did something right before him. When we humbly bow down before him, he lifts us up! It is him who must work through us, not We, ourselves. Thank you Jesus, that you gave us your helper, your Holy Spirit, and your word, to guide and direct us. ❤️

Father, may our mouths and our actions from our heart, reflect this amazing PROMISE.

Words can build up, or they can tear down and destroy.
What will we choose today? Jesus, defined clearly, whether it be wickedness or love that is in our hearts!
Let us all Remember, that this life, and our Faith, is not a game. We cant just dress up our lives to look good, but really not have pure motives. God sees everything, and knows our hearts. Not that we won’t make mistakes, but that we do walk in faith. It is Jesus who makes us right before a Holy God, and the Holy Spirit, who strengthens us to persevere, and be faithful. One day we will be made perfect, but until then, may we be filled with the spirit, humbled by the gift of salvation, through Faith, and walk with confidence that God loves us. May we show that same love to others today and every day.
Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.
Proverbs 21:2 NASB

Want to have the peace of God, that surpasses all understanding, no matter what happens today. Do what the following verse, says to do. Notice, it’s not a one time thing. It’s continuing. It’s what you are characterized by. I pray for your day, as well as mine, that we are overcome with the peace that only God can give. God Bless
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:6 NASB

May we pour out our hearts and souls to you today, Lord. May we confess, our weaknesses and failures before you. May yourself to us in a mighty way, not for our own selfish desires, but for your Glory! Amen.
‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
