Proverbs 4:7-10 – The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish
her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.
She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a
glorious crown.” Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of
your life will be many.
Proverbs
1:7 – The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Ezekiel 23:42 – “The noise of a
carefree crowd was around her; drunkards were
brought from the desert along with men from the rabble, and they put bracelets on
the wrists of the woman and her sister and beautiful crowns on their heads.
Proverbs 3:1-2 – My son, do not
forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and
prosperity.
Application:
- · Fear of the Lord is a loving reverence for God that includes submission to his lordship and to the commands of His word.
- · Drunkenness is consistently condemned in Scripture.
- · Fear of the Lord brings health to the body and “adds length to life”. When Solomon prayed for wisdom, God promised him riches as well as long life if he obeyed God’s commands.
