Day 1: The Beginning of Wisdom
Reading: Proverbs 9:10-12; 1 Kings 3:5-14
Devotional: True wisdom begins not with accumulating knowledge, but with reverence for God. When Solomon became king as a young man facing overwhelming responsibility, he didn't ask for wealth or power—he asked for wisdom. This request pleased God because it revealed Solomon's heart: he understood his need and knew where to turn.
The fear of the Lord isn't cowering in terror; it's approaching God with love and respect, recognizing His authority in our lives. Just as you consult someone you deeply respect before making important decisions, wisdom begins when we bring our confusion, our questions, and our uncertainties to God first. Before seeking advice from countless voices, pause and ask: "Lord, what do You think?" This posture of humility and dependence is where transformation begins. When you seek God's kingdom first, everything else finds its proper place.
