The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. Proverbs 15:33 New International Version
To fear the Lord in this context means to respect the Lord.
When we respect the Lord He will bless us with wisdom.
The difference between knowledge and wisdom is that knowledge teaches you something while wisdom teaches you how to use knowledge to improve you life.
For example: you know the speed limit and if you go over it you could get a ticket. Wisdom is where you do not go over the speed limit and will not face punishment.
Humility is when you are not proud or arrogant.
Then you are teachable and capable of putting your knowledge into action.
When this happens you will receive your due honor, if not from man, certainly from Jehovah.
Respect for our Heavenly Beloved brings us honor in Heaven Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Chanan (God of grace) guide me to always be humbly respectful of Your awesome majesty. May You bless me with Your infinite wisdom so as to be an honorable child of Yours. I sincerely request this in the most honorable name Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ precious love bless you today and every day.
As Christ is our King, so too are we His free will servants Joseph a son of Jehovah
I have been a faithful servant of our Lord for the past forty years.
He has led me to move from the farm to the city. It was there I learned natural medicine as well as to serve by doin volunteer work in a hospital. This was preparing me for the next stage of growth and service unto Him.
The next phase was to live in a tent in the western provinces of Canada planting trees. It has here in His marvelous creation of nature that He taught me so much of Himself while serving others in camp as a first aid attendant. If anybody got sick or injured they always came to me. As well, I learned to be a big brother and care about their mental health and for most, it was the first time they were ever loved.
This caring for others prepared me for the next step which was to be a teacher all over China. Here not only did my example guide many to our Heavenly King but also taught me how to deal with narcissist.
This prepared me to come home to take care of a narcissistic mother while dealing with narcissist family members.
It was in China that the Lord also guided me to become a Christian writer which has been faithfully done for the past ten years.
I know not what will happen tomorrow but I know who holds tomorrow in His hands and it is Him I place my total confidence and trust in. Joseph a son of Jehovah
What you say is so true! My favorite saying for knowledge verses wisdom is: Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad 🙂
