The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. Dearly beloved, When you fear the Lord, you will have enormous wisdom. The Psalmist says, “O God; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name” (Psalm 61:5). In the Bible, we read that Lord Jesus obeyed His parents in everything (Luke 2:51,52). In the same way, everyone should obey his/her parents (Ephesians 6:1-3). When you have the fear of God, you will certainly obey your parents. When that happens, you will have enormous wisdom and knowledge. Because Lord Jesus obeyed His parents, He grew in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and men (Luke 2:52). A young girl shared her testimony during the Exam Prayer Meet held in Chennai. Her testimony thrilled everyone who was present in that meeting. She was doing her +2. She got just two marks in Maths during the half yearly exam. At that time, she did not know Lord Jesus Christ. She had no confidence in her ability. She was from a very poor family. She was even finding it difficult to pay her school fee. Somehow she attended the Exam Prayer Meet held during the month of February in Chennai. It was in that meeting she surrendered her life to God. From that day onwards, she started loving her parents with all her heart even though they did not know the Lord. The Lord increased her knowledge and enabled her to write her exams well. On the day her exam results were released, she requested her father to go to the computer centre to find out her marks. But he refused to go saying, “I don’t want to go through shame because of your marks.” Because of his daughter’s compulsion, he went with much hesitation. But he came back joyfully and with great pride he said, “My daughter, you have scored 200/200 in Maths.” Her joy knew no bounds. The Lord will do the same for you also. The Bible says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7). Revere the glorious and awesome name of the Lord and obey His commands. Then He will bless you with wisdom and knowledge. He will grant you His divine favour and bless you with success in life. Prayer: Loving Lord Jesus, I revere your glorious and awesome name. I surrender my life to You. I choose to obey You in everything. Bless me with wisdom and knowledge. Grant me your divine favour and give me success in all areas of my life. In Your matchless name I pray. Amen. ----
