Proverbs - The Fear of the Lord


Proverbs 15:33        

 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom;
and before honour is humility.

True humility will only be in us when we have the fear of the Lord.  The fear of the Lord is clean and allows us to focus on one authoritative voice.  This allows us to bring the confusing circumstances we face with all of the different voices telling us what to do, to a God whose judgment is right and final.  We need to be in a place where obedience to Him is all we are seeking in a situation and we are more concerned with His leading than anyone else’s response or reaction to our decisions.  When we approach Him seeking to do what He wants us to do we will hear instruction so much more clearly than when we come before Him seeking to please everyone involved.  We must be willing to be ridiculed or judged in order to follow through with the Lord’s leading.  This is humility and it will result in honor.
