Fear of the Lord through wisdom

Fear of the Lord through wisdom

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. (Pro.8:13-16)

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil which is manifested through pride and arrogancy and the evil way and the froward mouth. Nowadays, the children of God do not hate evil but compromise with it. When someone exhibits a prideful spirit, you should not keep quiet but rebuke that person with all the humility. There are indeed a number of God’s servants in our midst whose heart is lifted up. We just allow them to live with pride and arrogance. When they take the children of God by a wrong or evil way which is against the Scriptures, we do not rebuke them. We are simple spectators. We allow the froward mouth to prosper through a preacher who preaches heresy. If we have the fear of the Lord, will definitely hate evil and expose them who practice evil in their lives or in their ministries. As a spiritual man, you ought to judge all things (2 Cor.2:15). The Spirit of wisdom in you gives you His counsel which you neglect. You want to please men than God. You reject sound wisdom and choose falsehood. You do not want to undergo persecution for speaking out the truth. The Spirit of God in you is your understanding. You cannot understand the secrets of the Devil on your own. You cannot understand the power of the Holy Spirit on your own. It is the indwelling Spirit of God who gives you all the understanding of the Scriptures. This understanding does not come to your heart through the ministry of any person. The Spirit of the truth in you leads you to all the truth. Of course, at times, God uses a human vessel to give you understanding by teaching you some truth which you could not understand or which you have been resisting.

The Spirit of God in you has all the strength to face the devil and the world. Your own strength will fail you.
