By   •   September 10, 2024

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.”

—Proverbs 9:10, ESV

Where do you turn when life is chaotic and unpredictable?

On a new episode of her Fearless podcast, Cissie Graham Lynch invites pastor Gary Hamrick from Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia, to explore the book of Proverbs where the word “wisdom” shows up 51 times.

“If the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, how does this help us overcome the fear-based messaging in our culture?” Lynch asked.

Pastor Hamrick explained the difference between “worldly” and “heavenly” wisdom.

“Proverbs reminds us we have to press into the Lord if we’re going to sift through all of the nonsense, chaos, [and] fear,” he said.

The two shared personal testimonies of how God has used insight from Proverbs to encourage and lead them at just the right time.

Be encouraged to look to God and His Word for guidance as you walk peacefully through a dark and confusing world.
