That Explains Why

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding” (Prov 9:10).

So, there you have it; the reason for the disgraceful state of our nation, communities, churches, and homes—the world. When humanity lacks respect for the Lord (God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit) and has no fear of His wrath, they lack wisdom. Lacking wisdom, they are unrepentant, act and think foolishly and make selfish, ignorant decisions. We owe the Creator of everything our trust, proper reverence, and fear of His judgments for not rightly living. When we highly esteem Him, our lives are on the path of wisdom and understanding.
