Good Morning Friends,
I live in a university town and most of the
residents of our city put a high value on education and knowledge. That attitude is not exclusive to university
towns. Our whole country values
knowledge. We honor those who have
degrees and give double honor to those who specialize and become experts in
their field. But where does real knowledge
begin?
The psalmist declared: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of
wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.” (Psalm
111:10)
This psalm was probably written by
David. Solomon, his son, agreed with
David’s point.
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of
knowledge.” (Proverbs 1:7)
True knowledge and the wisdom that comes with
it are not the product of the university campus. They aren’t found in books and
libraries. They aren’t found in lectures
and discussion groups. True knowledge
and wisdom are found in the Lord.
Those who know the Lord, honor Him, and look
to Him for guidance and direction have real knowledge and wisdom for life. It’s easy to forget that in a world that
places such value on education and book learning.
His, by Grace,
Steve
