What is wisdom?
Wisdom is being able to see things from God’s point of view.
![Page 61: 05 May 12, 2013, The Fear Of The Lord, Proverbs 31](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060119/558cae04d8b42a20188b4613/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
How do we see things from God’s point of view – from the heavenly perspective, from the eternal perspective, the bigger picture?
![Page 62: 05 May 12, 2013, The Fear Of The Lord, Proverbs 31](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060119/558cae04d8b42a20188b4613/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
In order to see things from another person’s point of view, we need to try and think like they think.
![Page 63: 05 May 12, 2013, The Fear Of The Lord, Proverbs 31](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060119/558cae04d8b42a20188b4613/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Yet, in Isaiah 55:8-9 NASB God says:
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
![Page 64: 05 May 12, 2013, The Fear Of The Lord, Proverbs 31](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060119/558cae04d8b42a20188b4613/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,So are My ways higher than your waysAnd My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 NASB
![Page 65: 05 May 12, 2013, The Fear Of The Lord, Proverbs 31](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060119/558cae04d8b42a20188b4613/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
So how can one person learn to think like another person?
By getting to know them!
![Page 66: 05 May 12, 2013, The Fear Of The Lord, Proverbs 31](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060119/558cae04d8b42a20188b4613/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
How can a human on earth think like God in Heaven?
See things from His point of view?Let’s stay with Isaiah 55 -

So if wisdom is seeing things from God’s point of view and if you learn to start seeing things from God’s point of view by seeking His face, by getting to know Him,

then what part does the fear of the LORD play in all of this?
What is the fear of the LORD?
![Page 110: 05 May 12, 2013, The Fear Of The Lord, Proverbs 31](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060119/558cae04d8b42a20188b4613/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)

One definition of the fear of the LORD is realizing that God is watching every thought, action, attitude and deed that I have or do.
![Page 112: 05 May 12, 2013, The Fear Of The Lord, Proverbs 31](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060119/558cae04d8b42a20188b4613/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
It is a constant awareness of Him.He is always present (omnipresent) with us but our awareness of that presence gets dull at times.

For a person to enjoy sinning, they try to put God out of their thoughts. When a man is looking at pornography, he does not want to be meditating on God’s word.

When someone is listening to gossip or spreading gossip, they don’t want to be focusing on God or Jesus or the Holy Spirit.

Consider the example of a highway patrolman following you.Suddenly you become aware of his presence.

Remember, wisdom is seeing things from God’s point of view so the beginning of wisdom is realizing that God is watching every thought, action, attitude and deed
![Page 119: 05 May 12, 2013, The Fear Of The Lord, Proverbs 31](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060119/558cae04d8b42a20188b4613/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
that you have or do (the fear of the LORD).
That is why Scripture says that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD.
