What's the Point? (A Study in Ecclesiastes: Part 1)ಮಾದರಿ

The true conclusion to this search for wisdom is that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). Jesus is the one prophesied about in Isaiah who has the Spirit of wisdom and understanding. Through knowing Him, we can discern how to live our lives with purpose and meaning. We have the Spirit of Jesus in us to experience his wisdom and live to give God the toil and fruits of our lives. As we pursue knowing God and his wisdom, He will meet us there and guide us along the way. Things still won’t always be wonderful because we live in a broken world, but we have access to the One who has the power to carry us through it all and keep us for eternity.

Ask Yourself: How have you experienced that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom?

Pause to Pray: Ask God to give you wisdom through the Spirit for a decision or conversation that you will have today.

Take the Next Step: Consider learning more about how Jesus fulfills the prophecy in Isaiah by looking at His life in the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).
