Job adds his name to the list of Bible authors who attempt to define wisdom … “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.” David and Solomon both add, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”

The fear of the Lord is most efficiently taught in the home. Children who are raised by Godly parents learn from an early age to reverentially fear God. They are spared the painful process of learning it by suffering from unwise choices in life.

PRAYER: Lord, give us the inspiration and perseverance to capably teach and model the reverential fear of the Lord in our homes.  You alone are to be worshipped and feared.
