"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction"
This started as the Proverbs Challenge of March for me but this kinda hit me right off the bat..
We too often forget that God is just and one to be feared in addition to being loved. We allow ourselves to focus on the blessings we feel we deserve. I can't help but think of Joel Osteen when I read this..always talking about how if God loves him, he will receive money and cars and houses, etc. He's choosing to ignore the righteous justice of God... We must always keep in mind that we are completely fallen, deserving nothing, and that without God's grace, we would be completely lost in our own right.
Fear God; Know God; Love God
