"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it" (Proverbs 9:10-12).
Of all the benefits we have read about in association with the gaining of wisdom, personally knowing God tops them all. The ultimate benefit of wisdom is "knowledge of the Holy One." This personal knowledge leads to great insight into not just life, but into God Himself.
When someone personally knows the Creator who is Holy, they know the One true God. They know His love, grace, patience, compassion, desires, strength, and so much more. Knowing God is so different than knowing about God. The difference between the two is experience. To really know God's love is to have experienced His love. To experience His compassion is to personally know His compassion.
One of the great benefits of knowing God is found in the length of days that follow. This is not just a numbering of days here on earth but rather a numbering of days in eternity. (If our days in eternity are even counted).
Those who gain wisdom gain a knowledge of God that is personal and intimate. Their life lasts forever starting the day they come to know the Holy One. Those who spend their life mocking wisdom end up experiencing ruin. Proverbs gives this warning so many times, there will be no excuses the day they are translated into eternity, with or without the Holy One.
Those words are amazing but there are another words I can tell you about and it's near enough to the words you just said .
ReplyDeleteI hope you can Understand that your say about the HOLY ONE is a truly beautiful thing that any one can hear about our Only Holy One God .
But My dear friend can you imagine that knowing God is not only the beginning of wisdom , but it's one of a lot of things that lead you to reach wisdom and one of theme is " Feeling of God Exists " .
You Can feel Holy GOD from his creations from smallest creators to the biggest.
Can you see the sky , smoothy and rocky of earth with mountains .
can you see yourself ? Do you know your self?
do you know that you are a positive and negative protons of power that makes your soul, and only The Holy One who knows about the soul itself . no Man can discover his soul elements .
Wisdom is like a book containing a lot of Good actions pages .
I hope you to comment my comment about your words so soon .
