Bible reading: Proverbs 9
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased” – Proverbs 9:10-11 (KJV)
The Word ‘fear’ in the above text does not imply being afraid of God, that will cause you to run away from Him. The Word ‘fear’ was translated from the Hebrew word Yir-aw, which means reverence. What then does it mean to reverence God? It is to worship Him, to honor Him. To love what He loves, to be mindful of Him. To reverence our Father is to Love Him & to Love Him is to know Him. Brothers & Sisters, please do spend quality time with our Father, as we fellowship with His Spirit, His Word & His people and you will experience great manifestations of His Spirit in your lives.
Prayer: Father, I thank you because you’re the source of all Wisdom. I choose to honor and reverence you today & always. I declare that Christ is my Wisdom and your Wisdom finds full expressions in every area of my life in Jesus name. Amen!!!
