Proverbs 1

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7. This proverb means that we should fear the Lord because he is all powerful and he decides our fate in heaven. It is also saying that foolish people do not listen to the good advice and guidance they are given. This proverb stuck out to me because I have seen many people misuse and ignore the good advice they are given. This verse is telling us to remember that God has given us the ability to learn everything we have, and we should listen to him. I will try to listen to others wisdom that is given to me, and learn from their advice.
