Wisdom in Proverbs:  The fear of the Lord is the only source of true wisdom.  Wisdom is personified and makes an appeal to the whole human race.  Wisdom's appeal: Proverbs 1:20-25

The fear of the Lord produces a hatred of evil.  Proverbs 8:13, Proverbs 10:27

The fear of the Lord produces a confidence.  Proverbs 14:26-27

  • It gives strong confidence
  • God's children will have a place of refuge
  • It is the source of life
  • Keeps us from the snares of death.  Both physical and spiritual death.

Proverbs 19:23

  • It leads to life
  • A person will abide in satisfaction
  • They will not be visited with evil.  That's almost too good to be true, but it is true!

Proverbs 22:4, Proverbs 23:17,18

2 Chronicles 16:9 - What does it mean?  A perfect heart.

Jeremiah 17:5-8

How deep do your roots go and what is the source of  your life?

How can we cultivate the fear of the Lord in our lives?

  • Proverbs 1:28-30
  • Accept God's reproof and be teachable
  • The second source of teaching is human teachers.  Hebrews 13:7,17
  • The third source of teaching.  Proverbs 2:1-5
