The Light Daily Devotional – The Key to Wisdom
Focus: The Key to Wisdom
WORD FOR TODAY
You do not have wisdom if you do not fear God. The devil will take advantage and mess up your life when the fear of God is absent. True wisdom begins with reverencing God and obeying His will!
Scriptural Reference
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” — Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV)
The foundation of true wisdom is the fear of the Lord. When a man fears God, his life is preserved, his steps are ordered, and he walks in divine safety. However, where the fear of God is absent, destruction is inevitable.
Joseph’s life is a clear example. The temptation he faced in Potiphar’s house was an attempt from the devil to mess up his destiny. If he had fallen, his future would have been ruined, but his fear of God preserved him. On the other hand, Samson, though anointed, lost everything because he disregarded his consecration and broke the covenant that connected him to divine strength. The enemy took advantage of his lack of reverence for God, and it led to his downfall.
Be mindful of how you live! The wisdom for an honorable life is found in reverencing God in all you do. Every act of disobedience to God’s will is an open door to destruction. The devil is always looking for ways to exploit the weaknesses of those who do not fear God.
The plans of God for your life are for your good—to protect and to establish you in His purpose. However, only those who fear Him will walk in His divine agenda. If you make nonsense of God’s instructions and choose to live without reverence for Him, you expose yourself to unnecessary battles and hardships. Let your daily choices be governed by the fear of the Lord. In your relationships, business, speech, and secret dealings, let your reverence for God guide you. The true wisdom for living honorably and avoiding destruction is to fear God.
Question for Meditation: Are you living in the fear of the Lord, or are you exposing yourself to destruction by disregarding His will?
Prayer: Lord, help me to walk in the fear of You at all times. Let my heart be aligned with Your will, and may I never fall into the traps of the enemy. Grant me the wisdom to live honourably and to make choices that glorify You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Main Emphasis: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Where there is no fear of God, destruction is near—fear God and walk in divine safety!
May your life be preserved by the fear of the Lord, and may you walk in divine wisdom. Amen!
