What do you want most out of life? Do you wish to belong? Do you want to be successful in business, make money, or some other pursuit? I know for years, I wanted nothing more than to be a successful business person and to have lots of money to give into the gospel. Let’s look a bit at today’s verse and see what it can teach us about what we should be wanting out of life.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. – Psalm 111:10 (NIV)
Today’s verse talks about how the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Is wisdom something that we want in life? How far could we go if we would just reverence or fear God? If we sought His plan for our lives. What would things look like?
It’s amazing how easily we can become like the world. We can forget that seeking God and His wisdom is to be the thing that we want most of all. It’s in Him and knowing Him that we get the wisdom that we need. Out of that wisdom can come success.
We will find the most success in life if we will simply seek after God’s wisdom. When we do that, the other things in our life will line up. So today, challenge yourself to seek God’s wisdom. Follow after Him and see what a difference His wisdom can make in the situations that you’re facing.
