"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." (Proverbs 9:10)



Now that The Window at Willow Springs is in the publisher's hands, I'm on to my next assignment: a story starring my 11-year-old grandboy (at his request). Like every book, the story begins with the first sentence:

Professor Benjamin Harrison Sparrow vanishing into thin air stirred up more fuss and feathers than the time Mrs. Alice Holtshausen plowed down the front gates of the Clear Creek Cemetery in old Gertie — her 1987 Lincoln Continental.


In the book of Proverbs, King Solomon wrote that wisdom begins with fear of the Lord. The word "fear" is not about terror but refers to a deep sense of reverence before God. It means respecting Him so profoundly that one's desire is to please God and obey His commands.

Beloved, are you in the middle of a decision or circumstance that demands God's wisdom? Ask, "Lord, what do You have to say?" Then open the Bible and obey God's commands.
