The Lord Will

Psalm 111:10

β€œThe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 111

Meaning

The psalm ends by moving from praise of God's works to a way of life: reverent allegiance to God produces practical wisdom and enduring praise.

Fear of the Lord and wisdom

The conclusion turns praise into reverent, practiced wisdom.

Read carefully

In wisdom tradition it denotes reverent allegiance and accountable awe, not chronic terror or spiritual abuse.

Reflection

Cultivate reverence, humility, moral courage, and teachability before God.
