The Price of Knowledge

⁷ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools^[c] despise wisdom and instruction.

I needed knowledge to write this blog. But, where knowledge does originally comes from. It comes from God. As a believer in God, Christ, and Holy Spirit, this verse from the book of Proverbs becomes my base to write. In addition, my beloved brother, Calvin will give much experience in fitness and nutrition.

The basic foundation for learning is to fear God (9:10); but fools reject wisdom and instruction, for they are proud and selfish without regard for God. They love their own opinions (26:12). Rather than search for truth, fools simply want to promote their own thoughts (18:1-2). But you cannot even start learning without the true fear of God.

The fear of God is an affectionate reverence for Him and humble submission to His word. Fearing God is loving His commandments and hating evil (8:13; 16:6; Ps 111:10; 112:1). Fearing God recognizes Him as the First Cause and Last End of all things (16:4; Rev 4:11)! It knows His forgiveness and seeks to please Him (Ps 130:3-4). A man fearing God trembles humbly at His word (Is 66:2). It is the whole duty of man (Eccl 12:13-14).
