Proverbs 1:7 (ESV)
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Solomon, the son of King David, wrote the book of Proverbs, which was divinely inspired by Father-God, to guide His people in moral behavior. "Proverbs" are short sayings that express practical truths. These proverbs emphasize the application of the Lord’s wisdom in everyday life, enabling individuals to live in alignment with Father-God’s will. In verse 7, Solomon states that fearing the Lord provides a foundation for acquiring knowledge, as Father-God is the source of all wisdom. The only individuals who seem to reject the Lord’s ways are fools, who prefer to live according to their own understanding. A "fool" willfully disregards any correction, instruction, or training that could lead to wisdom.
This verse resonated with me this morning because I appreciate Solomon's assertion that Father-God is the source of all true wisdom and knowledge. Those who do not believe in the Lord risk becoming "fools," suffering the consequences of rejecting divine principles in their lives. We all know people who resist correction or instruction, and we can observe the problems that arise from their behavior. As followers of Jesus Christ, we have the Holy Spirit to help us align our lives with Father God’s will. When we do so, we mature and develop a deeper relationship with Him. However, this growth can only occur when we actively apply biblical principles to our daily lives.
If you found encouragement in my reflections on this Bible verse, and through your faith in Jesus Christ, you want the guidance of the Holy Spirit to apply biblical principles to your life so you can deepen your relationship with Father-God, then I invite you to pray the following prayer aloud:
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive forgiveness through the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen. If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit-filled, full Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
