Knowing God

Good Morning!! The first thing that many schools throw out of any discussion or pursuit of knowledge, is God. Yet here we see that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,...we cannot hope to attain any real understanding of our world,...its purpose,...or our place in it, without first turning to learning about,... and from God.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.—Proverbs 1:7 (NIV)

Do you look at the world through the lens of God's Word, and with a fearsome understanding that it was created for the glory of God? If so, then intellectual pursuits, family relationships, job opportunities, and every other area of life will fit into place. On the other hand, if you don't begin with the fear of the Lord, then life will seem like a crossword puzzle with the wrong answer already scrawled across its middle; nothing will seem to fit.

You know what we need in school, more than guns?...God!

Holy Spirit of God, pave our paths to Higher learning, and a better God pleasing life. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.

"The Lord calls for us to stand,...but not always to understand."
