The Fear That Frees

Monday, July 21st

Scripture: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.” — Proverbs 9:10
Reflection: 
True wisdom begins when we revere God above all else. This isn't a fear of punishment, but a holy awe that puts everything else in a proper perspective. Wisdom flows from recognizing God's greatness and our need for His guidance. 
Prayer: 
Lord, teach me to fear You rightly not with dread, but with awe and love. Shape my heart to walk wisely in Your ways.
