“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” – Proverbs 9:10
When an individual receives forgiveness from God they enter into a special relationship. A genuine desire to worship and serve Him begins to develop. You find that you fear Him, yet it’s not fear as in being afraid. It’s an awe and reverence that begins to form within you as your understanding of who you are in relationship with starts to crystallize in your mind. Knowing who God truly is and who you are IN Him is vitally important to the spiritual growth and maturity of the believer. Only then will we shed the old skin of doubt and receive the wisdom and knowledge that is available to us by His Holy Spirit. As we feed our spirit man from the manna that is His word, we must allow it to permeate our very souls as we strive for understanding. Only God can help us attain this deep spiritual understanding. Striving to be more like Christ in our daily life will only come as we begin to think as He would and this comes to us through the wisdom and understanding that God dispenses to the seeking heart. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
