Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 1. I will then key in on verse 7 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. I will then read the commentary of my Bible and share what it has on this verse. Friends, all wisdom begins with having a reverence for God and who He is. For anyone that shuns God, or dismisses Him as being real basically forfeits the right to have wisdom. We must come to the place where we acknowledge Him for who He is if we are to live the life that He would have us live. Today, I will continue our study on humility. I will introduce you to woman named Rahab, a harlot who lived in the town of Jericho. I will read the entire 2nd chapter of the Book of Joshua. Joshua sent two spies to spy out the land. They immediately went to where you could receive answers to your questions - the house of the prostitute. When they came to her door she asked them for favor and asked that when the Israelites would ultimately prevail over their town, that she and her immediate family would be saved. When the king of Jericho heard about these spies, he sent for them. But, Rahab lied that they had already gone, risking her life in the prostitute. Because of what she did, she is now one of the heroines of the Bible. She is the great, great, great grandmother of King David of Israel and is listed as one of the women of great faith in the Book of Hebrews (Chapter #11). CALL to ACTION - Pay a compliment to someone who looks like they could use it and help anyone who looks like they have a need and could use some help. Suggested scripture reading: Please reread Chapter #2 of Joshua and read Chapter #3 as well.
