Reflection Text - Psalm 111
Verse 10 says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding."
I have a good friend who is just 30 years old but in my estimation is one of the wisest people I've ever met. How can this be? He doesn't have much life experience? He hasn't read every book out there? He hasn't even hit mid-life crisis? What is his secret?
He understands that wisdom MUST begin from a right understanding of who God is. He associates himself with God as often as possible, reading God's Word, praying instead of speaking and waiting for the Holy Spirit to give him words before opening his mouth. By doing these things, he is practicing Godly wisdom.
We cannot have Godly wisdom without a proper God-perspective. What's yours?
