The
fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. When Adam fell, he chose to
find his wisdom in something other than God, discerning good and evil
for himself, cutting off his dependency on every word that comes from
the mouth of God. In Jesus, our Word, God has called us to lay down our
lives as living sacrifices, that we might have our minds renewed in
dependency on our God.
We
must approach life in humbleness, realizing that the sin of man is
making their own assumptions. We must not trusting in our ability to
discern good and evil or in our own wisdom, but live lives looking to
and fearing the One who searches our hearts and souls and allowing the
scriptures to come into us as a double edged sword. He alone is our
source of discernment, knowledge, and wisdom.
