The Beginning

Psalm 111 sums up what we need to know in this life:

He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever—holy and awesome is his name. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.

When we know and believe that God has provided us a way out of this evil word because he is a covenant (promise) keeper, and that he is a holy God who cannot tolerate evil, and that his name is above all names – then we are wise.

But that’s just the beginning of wisdom.

We then follow his Word by obeying it and digesting it and loving it – and we gain understanding.

To him belongs praise.

Forever.

That’s a good life lived.
