Proverbs 9:10 stood out to me today, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Where it says fear, it really means to stand in awe of the Lord. The sooner we stand in awe and know who God really is, the sooner we begin to gain knowledge and understanding. The only way to truly do this is to have an authentic relationship with God.

There is nothing more important than allowing God to lead, guide, and instruct us. Proverbs 8:10-11 says, 10 Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, 11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. There is literally nothing we could ever want that is more precious or compares to God.

In today’s reading, Proverbs 7:4 stood out to me, Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your kinsman. Wisdom should be our sister that is not afraid to tell it like it is and understanding should be like family we trust and turn to when we have a question or need guidance. Neither wisdom or understanding should ever leave our side if we desire to live a righteous life.

We are becoming a society where we are more “social” online, yet we are becoming less social in reality. The following video is a poem depicted in a love story showing how we continue to find ways to make it easier to connect with one another through technology, but always results in us spending more time alone and ultimately risking the potential to miss out in the life we are intended to have. God intended for us to be social and supportive in community. You can’t do that through your smart phone as much as we may try.

There are things about our lives that no one knows and in some cases should probably never know. But God knows everything. There is nothing about our lives that can be hidden from Him. Proverbs 5:21 says, For a man’s ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths. Let us live lives which are not afraid of being exposed to anyone, especially God.

When Solomon was a boy he was given the opportunity to have a request fulfilled by God. Solomon chose wisdom above all else and because of that God blessed Him beyond his request. Proverbs 4:7 says, The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

Discipline means “to teach and train”. Discipline sounds negative because some people are not loving disciplinarians. However God is the source of all love. Proverbs 3:11-12 says, 11 My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, 12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. God doesn’t punish us because He wants to see us in pain, but because He has great concern in seeing us developed into who we are meant to become.

There are many ways to gain wisdom. Some people are taught, while others gain it through life experiences. However, true wisdom can only come from God. Proverbs 2:6 says, For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. The more we listen to God’s direction for our lives and follow His leading, the more we gain wisdom that can only come from Him.
