Reverent and Worshipful Fear of the Lord - Proverbs 1

S - Proverbs 1:7 Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
O - The Amplified version says "7The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning and the principal and choice part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; but fools despise skillful and godly Wisdom, instruction, and discipline." The reverent and worshipul fear of the Lord is the foundation to true knowledge. True knowledge is not the world's definition of knowledge but Godly knowledge that surpasses all other knowledge.
A - Reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord...Reverent means to me a hallowed respect and almost idolized attitude toward something or someone. This along with woshiping of the Lord do I need to keep front and center in my life, not just because this bring true knolwedge, but because of the sacrifice that Jesus gave for me. This fear of the Lord should be something very evident to others around me and will be infectious to those that are searching for the true answer in life.
P - God, I stand in awe before you today and I am speachless of the wonders of who you are and what you have done for me and my family. Help me be a shining light for your kingdom and give me the strength to live a life full of reverence and worship to you and to pass this along to my children. Bless my family and me today and everyday and give us all peace and patience in what you have for us.
