The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
The kind of fear we’re talking about is not terror fear, it’s reverence fear. We are putting God in his right place. We are recognising that he holds the keys to life and death. He has all authority in this universe.
And we accept that of him and we look to him for everything. We look to him for life. We look to him for guidance. We look to him for help in our relationships and in how we live.
And if you put all those things together, you can see how this reverence fear of the Lord leads to wisdom. Because God, if he shares his knowledge with us about all of these things, makes us wise.
Have you ever thought to yourself, I really don’t know what to say to this person? And then you’ve prayed. And then you’ve received wisdom or insight through the Holy Spirit. It might have sounded like your own thoughts, but you’ve submitted to God there, and you’ve received knowledge from Him.
The knowledge of the Holy One, knowing about God, is itself insight. The more that we read the Bible, and the more that we invite the Holy Spirit to illuminate Scriptures for us, to help us to understand it, the more insightful and wise we become.
