The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10 We pursue so many things, but only one pursuit brings wisdom. Paul reminded the Athenians that God made us to seek after Him and find Him (Acts 17). The wisdom of Proverbs keeps leading us back to knowing God and having a deep and reverential awe toward Him as the source of wisdom. Understanding of priorities, needs, purposes, goals, problems, and issues can occur only when we first recognize who the Lord is and know Him in our day-to-day lives. Holy, Majestic, Righteous, and Eternal God. I confess that I know you so much less than you know me. But our faithfulness in my life, your power displayed in history, your grace shared with so many through the cross of Christ, and your promise to bring me home to you one day sustain me. I want to know you so that my life can be lost in your will. Not for my glory or gain, but for your praise, I ask that you make yourself known to me in the things I do today. Through Jesus I ask it. Amen.
