S - Proverbs 9:10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.
O - This proverb continues on talking about wisdom. It says that the foundation of wisdom is the fear of the Lord and knowledge of God.
A - There are many intellectuals that think that once someone is a born again believer that they through out all common sense and logic and now are on the path of blind faith. However, this proverb goes completely against this claim. True wisdom is brought about by the fear and knowledge of the Lord. This understanding of who He is and a healthy fear of Him brings about wisdom and good judgement. This doesn't say that there is no need for testing things and having good judgement. God's word and what He speaks to us brings about a level of understanding that pure intellect can't understand or may not understand to the same degree. I choose to stay with God and lean on Him for my continued good judgement and wisdom, not relying on myself only as that is just pure folly.
P - God, thank you for all that you have done for me and for always being near me. I ask that you continue to pure out wisdom in my life and help me exercise good judgement daily. Give me the confidence, strength, and wisdom to stand up to those that attack you or myself on an intellectual level and bring wisdom to the discussion so that they may search for that same truth that I know so very well. Bless my family and me today and keep us safe and healthy.
