Title : Knowledge
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7"
Devotion : This scripture makes us understand that the fear of God is knowledge. This fear is not because God is evil, NO, but because we know what He can do and undo. An example when we were children we were afraid of our parents not because they will harm us but because they loved us and we don't want to offend them. Same here God loves us even before we know Him, it is only proper that we fear(REVERE) HIM. To reverence Him we must know Him by accepting His free gift of Jesus Christ into our lives as Our Lord and Saviour. This is the beginning of knowledge and it of utmost importance to successful Christian life.
Before any person would fear God or give God reverence, he might have had a prior knowledge of Him through the word of God. We therefore need to attend fellowship with other children of God.
This knowledge a person receives from God leads to the wisdom of God and more reverence.
Fools on the other hand, have no regard for wisdom and instruction; because of this inherent character they will continue to live in folly (sin)
Dear reader, do you fear God and how do you mean?
