The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever
Psalm 111.10
This verse is divided into three parts, which explain how we can enjoy God's anointing and attain His wisdom. Respecting the Lord for all that He is and listening to His Word, understanding the Creator's plan so that His children lack nothing, are proper attitudes of every Christian. To be successful, we need to fear Him!
We can define wisdom as God's presence at work in a person's life. In some individuals, this quality is evident because they know how to act with prudence, are not controlled by others' emotions, and make good decisions, even surprising the most experienced. Thus did our Master act: "Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions" (Luke 2:46).
They say that a wise person listens "for miles" and speaks "in inches." The foolish, on the other hand, rush to speak about what they do not know, make decisions that harm them, and, in the end, do not like to be taught. Seeking to know what God says about His creation is to respect Him as Master. Whoever acts in this way possesses the beginning of wisdom, but it is necessary to advance in the knowledge of the Truth so as not to lose one's way.
To obey the Lord, who has shown all wisdom through the great things He created, as well as through the tiny ones that make up the matter of everything, is the path to achieving wisdom. Today, it is known that a millimeter can be divided into a thousand parts, each called a micron. This can also be divided into another thousand, called nanometers. Besides these units of measurement, there are more divisions seen only with the aid of a more powerful microscope.
Whoever does not follow the divine teachings revealed in the Bible will not succeed, for, in addition to refusing to believe in the existence of God, they reject His power. There are biblical prophecies that man deemed impossible to happen, such as the rivers mentioned by the prophet Zechariah (Zechariah 14:8). This has already begun to happen. The wisdom of the Most High foresaw that those who wish to gain good understanding will see and exalt the glory of the Father.
The nations and their modern dictators are the same as those in the past, when they did things to prove that God was wrong. However, even if they do not believe in the power of the Lord or serve Him, they will prove that divine wisdom is incomparable and unattainable. When Jesus returns, with a shout of command, those who did not accept Him will writhe in anguish!
It is useless to imprison or kill those who confess the lordship of Christ, because the hand of the Father will protect them from all evils. The work that will precede the return of the King of kings is far greater than any creation of man. The Lord will show the foolishness of those who consider themselves something when they are nothing. The praise of God will remain!
In Christ, with love,

Today's Prayer
God of wisdom and knowledge! How can mortal man be deceived by those who cannot discern between good and evil? Why do they act irrationally?
You made us in Your image and likeness, bringing us to a level that scholars and deceivers envy and condemn us for. They could learn from us about You, for You are the One who created everything, including wisdom!
We are grateful that You love us and save us, giving us the hope of eternal life. Help the unfortunate who live prisoners of sin, breathing the hatred of the devil against Your people. Your presence in us irritates them, so they do not want to draw near to You.
