Day 245 - Proverbs 1-2 & 1 Corinthians 12
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7 ESV)
“The First Commandment teaches that ‘we should fear, love and trust in God ABOVE ALL THINGS... He desires for His people to regard Him in awe, respect, and love... Such wisdom–given by God through Word and Sacrament, making us His children, is the theme for the book of Proverbs. True wisdom begins with an individual’s apprehension in knowledge and trust in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior. Fools are those who reject God and the wisdom and instruction He freely offers through faith.” (Lutheran Study Bible, CPH 2009, page 999)
Lord God heavenly Father, I truly want to fear, love and trust in You above all things. Please forgive me for the many times I have foolishly disobeyed Your holy will. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
“See” you in church tomorrow!
