MIDWEEK MEDITATION

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
Proverbs 1:7

Those who would seek wisdom must begin here. Each of us is faced with the same question of: how do we make the most of our time here on Earth? There are many different paths you could take and a thousand choices each day that push you in one direction or another. How can a person know which way is best?
 
The fear of the Lord. 
 
True wisdom starts by acknowledging God and His place in the universe as well as in our lives. When we recognize that God knows and desires what is best for our lives, then our path becomes clearer. When we are willing to value God's truth over our opinion, the path of wisdom opens up to us.  
 
Meditate on this question throughout the day: Do I appropriately fear God? 
 
Lord, help me to seek you in all things. I want to be wise and live well under Your guidance. I acknowledge that You are God, and I am not. Please help me to remember that throughout the day.
