The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!
Psalm 111:10 (ESV)The beginning of wisdom is a reverence for God. Those who do not acknowledge God cannot be wise. Atheists can never be wise.
There is no way to be wise without putting life, death, and all of nature into their proper context, and without God, there is no context.
Therefore, a Godless nation is a foolish nation. A Godless family is a foolish family. A Godless person is a fool.
This would be debatable if it were just me saying it, but God tells us that the fear of Him is the beginning, not the end, but the beginning of wisdom.
How many leaders in our nation lead without wisdom? How many churches are being directed with no understanding? Is it any wonder that many give up and cannot endure in this life?
Those who fear the Lord are positioned correctly, can lead with wisdom and authority, and will be proven wise one day.
