The Fear of the Lord
Sep 1, 2025 • Nathan Smalley
In this episode of The Living Logos, we study Proverbs 1:7: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” We’ll explore the difference between fear that drives us away from God and reverence that draws us closer to Him. We’ll also see why this holy fear is the foundation of true wisdom, how it shapes our pursuit of knowledge, and what it means for us to walk daily in awe, humility, and obedience before the Lord.
