LIVING WISELY | Part 4: The Fear of the Lord | Mike Marais

In this message from our Living Wisely series through Proverbs, Mike unpacks one of the Bible's most foundational truths: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Rather than living in fear of God, we discover that true wisdom begins with humble reverence, wholehearted trust, and joyful obedience to Him.

Through the lives of Joseph, Gideon, Joshua, King Saul, and others, we see what it looks like to live in the fear of the Lord.

To live in the fear of the Lord, we must:

Be humble – Recognise our need for God.

Honour and trust God – Trust Him in every circumstance.

Obey God – Walk in His ways, knowing His commands are for our good.

Be encouraged to build your life on the sure foundation of God's Word.
