A man filled with divine wisdom has within himself an entirely new standard whereby to judge of truth and to regulate his life! As the Psalmist expresses, “Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me” (Psalm 119:98).
The fear of God is the essential part of true wisdom. As Solomon has said, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding!” (Proverbs 9:10). Even though this Godly wisdom may be reputed as folly by the ungodly world and considered an indication of a disordered mind, it most assuredly enlarges the understanding and elevates its possessor above those without it. Yes, and above others also, who in natural capacity and scholarly achievements are far his superiors!
The fear of God, if I may say so, opens a new world to him in those who possess it! Consider two people, one lacking formal education and the other well-versed in arts and sciences.
