Fear of The Lord

May 4, 2025    Pastor Fi Portillo

In our exploration of wisdom, we discover that true wisdom begins with a profound reverence for God. The book of Proverbs teaches us that 'the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.' This isn't about being afraid, but rather about having a deep respect and awe for who God truly is. When we grasp the magnitude of God's power and love, it transforms how we approach life. We're reminded that God isn't just a distant figure, but the Creator of the universe who also desires a close relationship with us. This perspective shift can radically change our decision-making, our priorities, and how we interact with others. As we cultivate this reverence, we're promised that wisdom will reward us with a fuller, richer life. Let's challenge ourselves to see God in His full majesty, balancing His friendship with His divinity, and watch how it reshapes our daily walk.
