S – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding

 Proverbs 9:10 CSB

O – If we have a healthy terror or awe of God, it will cause us to trust in Him as our source.  The more we get to know Him,the more we see His plan.

A – The fear of the Lord can be terror fear or awe. When you stand next to twenty-foot waves by the ocean, you have “terror fear” recognizing their power and ability.  Or, you are amazed and in awe of them.  Same with God, you acknowledge His unlimited character and abilities.  This leads to both responses.  You also understand more of Him when you spend time with Him in His word and prayer.

R – Lord, thank you that you have no limitations and yet know us intimately.  We acknowledge you are the one and only God.  We humble ourselves and surrender all that you have given us back to you.  We worship you as our God.  Thank you for revealing more of your character to us today.
