The Fear of the Lord Is Wisdom

the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding. Job 28:28 Knowledge is growing at an unprecedented rate today. Research, science and technology move forward at a relentless pace. Most of what is discovered today is beyond the comprehension of the average person. Yet, I feel that we are moving backwards in wisdom. As a culture, we have rejected God, the source of wisdom. We have allowed the influence of evil spirits into our culture, and they are tearing at the fabric of our society. We understand atoms and nano particles, but we are losing our understanding of relationships, family and marriage. We've built the internet with all its amazing capabilities. Yet, we no longer understand sound financial principles. Lord, help us and our society to return to You. Forgive us for rejecting You. Help us to understand that true wisdom comes only from You. Help us to realize that knowledge can never replace wisdom. Help us to live for You and seek You.
