Wisdom

Where Wisdom Starts

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."
Proverbs 9:10

Reflection

Fear here is not being scared: it is deep respect. Everything starts making sense when we put God in the right place.

Prayer

God, I want to respect You above everything. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What does it mean to respect God deeply?
  2. Why does wisdom start with God?
  3. How do you show respect to God every day?
