If we are committed to the Lord Jesus, we walk in victory in an eternal sense, but what about in a temporal sense? How do we use the tools God has given us to be immune to the lies of this world? Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Fear of the Lord used to baffle me, so I will share with you what helps me understand the fear of the Lord and how it is different from what I thought it was. We will also talk about how that tiny little phrase can help us be immune to some of the lies of this world. When we are immune to it, and when kids watch us display this immunity, then it passes on to them. Our children will continue to be under assault; for instance, take into account the University of Columbia. They are determined to create an “environment in the faculty of education that is inclusive of gender and sexual identity.” They are so good at making this sound so reasonable and loving, but how do we use the Word of God to point out that it isn't any of those things? How do we have spiritual immunity that we pass on to our kids? We can also point to this: an article from the BBC stated that “Black women most likely to die in medieval London plague.” Well, natural human skepticism can say, how many black women were in London in medieval times? But we can also look at the source and once again look at the Word of God. Proverbs 12:15 says, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” This is a scripture we should take to heart as we delve into how we navigate living in this world.What does God’s Word say? https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%201%3A7&version=NIV The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%201%3A5&version=NIV If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%203%3A17&version=NIV 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%203%3A13-18&version=NIV Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
