Fear

Prov. 1:7 (NKJV)
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

There are many things in life that we can choose to fear. Some choose to fear spiders, others fear germs. Some may fear change and some may even fear failure. On top of our list of things to fear should be God Himself. What greater to fear than the One who holds the Universe in His hands. One of my pet peves is when people show God disrespect by misusing His name. Today I will look for ways to display a healthy fear of God. Maybe the next time someone uses his name in vain I will gasp and tell them how stupid it is to mock God like that because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
