What if the gap between information and transformation is reverence? We take a focused look at Proverbs 1:7—“Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge”—and unpack why awe, not ego, is where learning truly begins. Rather than collecting spiritual facts, we explore the practice of building a life that’s grounded in humility, patience, gratitude, and a daily return to Scripture.

Across this reflective close to our Lessons for Life series, we trace the themes that kept surfacing week after week: choosing humility over self‑certainty, practicing patience when urgency pressures us, and cultivating gratitude that steadies the heart. We talk about the difference between knowing about God and knowing God, and how a posture of reverence reshapes decisions, relationships, and habits from the inside out. Practical steps pull it all together: write down your top three lessons from this season, pray over them, and tie each one to a simple, repeatable action so wisdom moves from notes to rhythms.

If you’re craving spiritual clarity, looking to deepen your walk with God, or simply wanting a grounded way to apply Scripture day by day, this conversation offers both guidance and gentle accountability. You’ll hear a short prayer to help you carry these lessons into tomorrow and a reminder that wisdom grows through small, faithful steps taken in God’s presence. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a quick review telling us your top three—what’s on your list?

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.

00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:07.759
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.880
I'm Rick.

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.000
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.760
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:19.760
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.519
Let's get started.

00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:34.000
Today is day 273, What We've Learned from Proverbs chapter 1, verse 7 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:42.159
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:50.240
As we close out the Lessons for Life theme, it's important to remember where true learning begins.

00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:52.880
With a heart that reveres God.

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.560
It's about respect and a deep desire to honor Him with your life.

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:09.680
Now, over the past few weeks, we've learned that God's wisdom is more valuable than anything this world can offer.

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:17.680
We've discovered the importance of humility and patience, gratitude, and staying rooted in his word.

00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:19.920
But it doesn't end here.

00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.400
It's a lifelong journey.

00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:30.719
The goal isn't to know more facts about God, it's to know him personally and to walk in his ways.

00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.000
That's what transforms you from the inside out.

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:43.680
So the last thing I need you to do this month is write down the top three lessons that you've learned during the Lessons for Life series.

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.079
Pray over them and ask God to help you live them out daily.

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:49.840
Pray with me.

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:54.799
Lord God, thank you for all you've taught me through this season.

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:02.000
Help me to carry these lessons forward and keep my heart open to your wisdom every day.

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.680
May my life reflect a deep reverence for you.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.639
In Jesus' precious name I pray.

00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:09.599
Amen.

00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.120
Well, that's all for today.

00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.479
But I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's word.
