The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge… –Proverbs 1:7
We serve a God who sits on the highest throne there is, a God who dwells in unapproachable light. He’s the one at the sound of whose voice light came into existence. At his command stars, planets, and galaxies
came into being. God set the entire universe in motion, placed every molecule where it needed to be, and he sustains it all every moment of every day. He designed and created everything in creation! He’s the
Alpha, the Omega, the beginning, and the end. Our God always was, and he always will be. His power is beyond measure, his wisdom is beyond comprehension. God sees every move we make, he knows every
thought we think, and he hears every word we say. And he is in all places at all times.
He’s a God whom every person ought to fear. Recognizing how powerful our God is, the only right response is a deep sense of awe and respect before him! King Solomon said that when you get to that point,
you’ve reached the beginning of knowledge. When we come to this place of awe before our God, we’ve begun our journey of getting to truly know God.
Do you want to know God better? This is where it starts. Ask him to show you just how mighty, and big he is compared to you! Let God lead you to fear him, to a place of reverent awe before the God who loves
you, who knows you, and who wants you to know him.
