THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE

Today's lesson on Proverbs: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction (Prov 1:7). I know most of you probably made a New Year promise to do this or that.... Most of the time, we as humans think, all I need is a "New Beginning" and everything will be okay. Look around you, you will find many people that was given a"New Beginning". Everyday that we wake up is a NEW BEGINNING. Here's the big question, what are you doing with your "NEW BEGINNING"? If you're not starting your NEW BEGINNING off reverencing God, building a closer intimate relationship with Him, or professing Him as your savior you will live another year in vain. Don't waste your "NEW BEGINNING" on selfish desires. Everything you desire and hope for began when God sent His son to the cross to die for you. All the answers for your life affairs starts with God. Will you start the year off by following God's knowledge? Human knowledge is nothing compared to God's knowledge.
SN: The word FEAR in this verse means: to reverence, respect, and honor Him.
Respecting His word, and choosing to live a holy life is how you "reverence" God. This doesn't mean you will not fall short neither does it encourage you to willfully sin. However you will live a intentional life that's purposed to do all that God require of you. When you respect something or someone, you will not have a desire to do things that will dishonor them. Live a life that says I am SOLD OUT to Christ. Yes we will all fall (sometimes), however, we should not plot to sin by doing things we know are wrong in God's sight. The more you grow in "knowledge" the more you move away from sin and the desire to sin. Don't run from wisdom & knowledge; run to it.
If you haven't already, please, read Proverbs Chapter 1.
