Daily Inspiration

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” — Proverbs 9:10

Scripture reminds us that wisdom springs forth not just from knowledge, but from genuine reverence towards God. True reverence acknowledges the greatness and holiness of God, leading us to align our daily choices accordingly. Let godly awe inspire you, not frighten or halt you, because reverence is designed to fuel right living.

Question of the day

How can I tell if I have the right kind of fear towards God?

The Bible clarifies the right attitude toward godly fear: it leads to obedience without guilt or dread, but with joy and awe-filled respect. Psalm 111:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his commandments have good understanding.” If your fear draws you closer to joyful obedience rather than making you withdraw or live in anxiety, you’re experiencing true holy reverence.

Consider recent moments when your choices were aligned by consciously remembering God’s greatness. How did reverence influence your actions? Spend a moment meditating on this insight, allowing holy fear to refine your spirit and guide your decisions today.

Thought for the day

Healthy reverence for God is not about being overwhelmed by the fear of punishment. Rather, it elevates and empowers us forward into wise action. When you truly acknowledge God’s greatness, you naturally begin to see decisions as opportunities to honor Him. Cultivating deep awe for the Lord can profoundly alter your perspective, transforming mundane actions into moments shaped by heavenly wisdom. Let us therefore “serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear” (Hebrews 12:28), stepping confidently into obedience and holiness.

Closing Blessing

May the awe and reverence of our mighty God guide your actions, inspire your obedience, and impart true wisdom into every facet of your life today and always. Grace, peace, and godly courage accompany each step you take.

Amen.
