January 29 Manna
The fear [reverence] of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Psalm 111:10
THIS is the only proper attitude of the creature toward the Creator, the Author of our being, and the Creator, Preserver and Lord of the whole universe. When He speaks, therefore, our ears should be reverently attentive to His voice, and every power alert to do His bidding. Our safety, our happiness, and that nobility of character which prompts to love and gratitude, and which promptly and wisely heeds instruction and advances in knowledge and wisdom, all depend primarily upon our supreme reverence for the Lord. And therefore the Lord would foster and cultivate in us that becoming, filial reverence that is due to His name. Z.’96-155 R2002:3
Beloved of Our Lord,
Warm Greetings in Christ!
Below are three documents of the January 29th Manna Text, for your consideration.
Pro 9:10 KJV The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
R4841:
We may say that those of the world who have a reverential fear are such as are in a preferable attitude of mind; they are in better condition than the thoughtless. In life, certain conditions which surround us call for reverence; and man’s brain is so constituted that reverence will be a part of his mental attitude if he be not depraved. Hence, the Scriptures say that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” (Prov. 9:10) The fear of the Lord, the reverence of the Lord, will bring a blessing. This fear of the Lord rather increases as the child of God comes to know His Maker; but it is a gradual process.
