Wisdom: The Principle ThingSample

Wisdom Begins and Ends With the Fear of the Lord

This Proverb, like most of them, looks at the eyes, lips, hands, and hearts of mankind. While the writer points out the eyes, lips, hands, and feet, we will do well to take notice that their actions spring from the heart. There is a contrast made with those whom fear the Lord, whom have a regenerate heart, with those whom do not fear the Lord, and those with an unregenerate heart. The ungodly, unregenerate man can walk in wisdom. I know several unsaved who are wiser than some saved men. However, their walk is a self-exalting and self-preserving walk. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
