The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
(Proverbs 9:10)See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
(Ephesians 5:15) God blesses those who love his wisdom
Our relationship with God requires reverence and fear of Him. The fear of God is necessary for true communion with Him. The wisdom of the spiritual man is a gift from God based on knowledge of His Word and revelation of His son, Jesus Christ. To love wisdom in the fear of God is to recognize our smallness before His majesty and power. Christ is the wisdom of God. The wise man seeks God's advice as the only powerful opponent against free will and the machinations of the evil one. Divine wisdom proceeds from faith in Jesus and obedience, reverence, and perseverance in doing what is right in the eyes of God. The Holy Spirit is the provider of this gift. God blesses those who love His wisdom and seek His advice. Let us live as wise men and spiritual women because that is the will of God.
