"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."
We live in a nation severely lacking in wisdom. On all levels. And
the reason is obvious. What pleases God is irrelevant to most
people--including many believers. And since all issues are spiritual
issues, not political, I hope your trust is not in the government and
its leaders--in men--for solutions to these issues. What is my
responsibility then? To model Christ.
To show the world that we never make decisions without asking ourselves
"How will this decisions affect my relationship with God?" Unless we
imitate the life of Christ on a daily basis, no one will ever know what
wisdom looks like. What does wisdom add to the world: understanding,
discernment, instruction in wise behavior, righteousness, justice,
equity, prudence, an increase in learning, discretion, wise counsel. We
can't make anyone wise; that's a choice they make. But we can show our
love for Him by demonstrating wisdom. We can be light in any darkness.
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction."
