Listen "Proverbs E5: 1:7, Wisdom's True Beginning"
Episode Synopsis
What is the foundation of all true wisdom? In today’s episode, we reflect on Proverbs 1:7, the verse that lies at the heart of the book’s message: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” Dan explores why this verse sets biblical wisdom apart from other ancient wisdom traditions, and why right relationship with God is the non-negotiable starting point for a wise life.You’ll learn:How Proverbs 1:7 differs radically from Egyptian or Mesopotamian wisdom literatureWhy the “fear of the Lord” is about reverent relationship, not just dread or aweHow wisdom in Proverbs is covenantal, not just practical or moralisticThat wisdom begins not with knowing facts, but with honoring the LordWhy rejecting God isn’t just wrong—it’s foolishHow knowledge, wisdom, and instruction are all interconnected in biblical discipleshipWritten and Recorded by Dan Niles, Manager of Pastoral CareVisit us online: www.rocksolidrefuge.com
