The Beginning of Wisdom

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."

Proverbs 9:10

I have been reading a book by Andy Stanley called 'The Best Question Ever.' This is an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone. I won't give much away about the book cause you'll have to read it yourself but his theme is wisdom. He wrote the following about his thoughts on Proverbs 9:10...

...Wisdom begins when we recognize that God is God and the respond accordingly. The proper response, or course, is surrender. Once we have surrendered, God is more than happy to reveal more and more of Himself. And as we discover more and more if the character and nature of the Gather, we gain greater understanding of the world He has created. Our expanded understanding results in an improve ability to chose wisely. This true wisdom begins with a proper recognition of who God is coupled with a proper response-surrender.
