Fools Despise Wisdom

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 1:7

· · ·

The fear of the Lord marks the beginning of all true knowledge.

Knowledge without reverence for God leads to foolishness, no matter how educated one becomes. Those who despise wisdom and instruction reject the very foundation of understanding. True learning begins with humble recognition of God's authority and our need for His guidance.

Approach your studies, work, or learning today with humility, recognizing that all true knowledge flows from honoring God.

Lord, keep me from the foolishness of pride. Let my pursuit of knowledge always begin with reverence for You. Amen.
