PROVERBS  ONE…. (v.7-9)

Verses 7-9

The beginning of real wisdom is to fear the Lord, that is, to acknowledge, reverence and obey Him, realising that we are accountable to Him.

Solomon goes on to tell his sons to listen to their parent’s instructions.  More importantly for us today, is that we listen to our Heavenly Father’s Words as recorded in His Word the Bible. If we hide it in our hearts, we will not sin against Him,  (Psalm 119:11 it will become a light showing  our way and a guide to our feet as to places to go (Psalm 119:105). It will both show you the way to go as well as the dangers to keep away from.

God’s Word is absolutely true and trustworthy, and the result of living in its way is to have GREAT PEACE where NOTHING will upset or offend us (Psalm 119:160, 165). What better ornament is there to wear than this!

The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord, Trust in him, and heed His Word,             Those who won’t take this to heart,  In the things of God will have no part!
