“Fear of the lord is the foundation of true knowledge.” (Proverbs 1:7)

the book of Proverbs is a compilation of wise sayings, many penned by Solomon, who was acclaimed as the wisest man of his era. It’s thirty-one chapters call the reader to listen to wisdom and avoid folly, starting with the core message of Proverbs.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” Wisdom, knowing what to do when, comes from honoring God by seeking His ways. In the introductory verses, we read, “Listen when your father corrects you. Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck.”

When we honor God and seek His ways, we’ll receive the wisdom we need for all the matters we face in life. Each and every one.
