The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
This is another passage about how to gain wisdom and what wisdom will do for you.
Thoughts for the day...
In an earlier devotion, I wrote about how to respond to criticism, something I'm not great at doing. But in reading so much lately in how to deal with criticism, I hope that the next time it's offered, I'll take take it better than I have in the past. Wisdom begins with knowing God. To know Him is not just to know the facts about Him, but to stand in awe of Him (to fear Him) and have a relationship with Him. My relationship with God is growing every day, and I have His promises in the proverbs I've been reading lately promising me that this will lead to wisdom.
My Prayer
Thank you, Father, for the relationship that I have with You. Thank you for bestowing upon me Your wisdom more and more each day. Continue to help me grow stronger so that I can take others' criticism, respond to it appropriately, and learn from it.
