The Wisdom of the Fear of the Lord

⁷ "Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!
And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.
⁸ If you prize wisdom, she will make you great.
Embrace her, and she will honor you." - Proverbs 4:7-8

Wisdom is the most important thing you can do. God wants you to be great. God want you great. We are here to do a kingdom assignment. We have a purpose, you have a purpose. If you embrace wisdom than she will make you great. Wisdom will make you honorable. Embrace her!
Wisdom is a deep understanding of people, things, events, or situations. It is an empowering that gives you the ability to choose or act to consistently produce optimum results with a minimum amount of time and energy.

"Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and high officers. Because of Daniel’s great ability, the king made plans to place him over the entire empire." - Daniel 6:3

"Whenever the king consulted them in any matter requiring wisdom and balanced judgment, he found them ten times more capable than any of the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom." - Daniel 1:20

Be Holy. Are you distinguishing yourself? We are the light of the world. God has called us into different spheres of life. Embrace wisdom and she will you great.

^5" Though the Lord is very great and lives in heaven,
he will make Jerusalem^[a] his home of justice and righteousness.
⁶ In that day he will be your sure foundation,
providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.
The fear of the Lord will be your treasure." - Isaiah 33:5-6

The key to God's storehouse of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. What is the fear of the Lord? It is NOT to be scared of God!

"Don’t be afraid,” Moses answered them, “for God has come in this way to test you, and so that your fear of him will keep you from sinning!” - Exodus 20:20

A person who fears God has nothing to fear. The fear of the Lord is be terrified to be away from Him. The fear of God is to venerate Him, to honor, respect, and esteem. When we firmly embrace God's heart we will love what He loves and hate what He hates.

"You love justice and hate evil.
Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you,
pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.” - Hebrews 1:9

Love righteousness; hate sin. The Spirit of the fear of the Lord. It is one thing to pray and another thing to be heard.

Psalm 19:9 "The Fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever."
The manifestation of the fear of the Lord is:
1. To obey Him instantly.
2. To obey Him even if it doesn't make sense.
3. To obey Him even when it hurts.
4. To obey Him even if we don't see a benefit.
5. To obey Him to completion.

Friendship with the Lord is reserved for those who fear Him.

John 15:15 "No longer do I call you servants....you are my friends."
To be a friend of God is a condition. "You are my friends if you do whatever I command you." John15:14
"Daniel says, 'There is a God in heaven who reveals secrets." - Daniel 2:28

God's secret wisdom will make you great, bring you honor, bring you wealth and riches, protect you and keep you safe, and add years to your life.
