"Does awe lead to wisdom or fear?"
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding." — Psalm 111:10.
In the Bible, "fear of the Lord" often denotes profound respect and awe, not terror. This reverence is seen as the foundation of wisdom, guiding believers to live righteously and understand divine truths.
But here’s the contradiction: if God is love, why would wisdom begin with fear? Maybe “fear” isn’t about dread—but about confronting something so vast, holy, and utterly beyond comprehension that it humbles us. Real awe doesn't shrink us in shame—it expands us in reverence. And that reverence? It’s the soil where wisdom grows.
