Wisdom of fearing God

In the book Psalms here, it is composed of 150 chapters. It begins with a blessing and ends with a song. Chapter 1 in this book is about the blessing that is given to the righteous ones. So as people who want to be blessed, we should look carefully at what it says.


There are many stories in the bible about blessings. In Genesis, there is a story of Jacob and Esau. When Jacob was born, he was not in a situation to receive the blessing. However, in the end, he receives the blessings of Esau. Esau was supposed to receive the blessing but he loses it. So we can see that the ones who receive blessings is not certain. This can always change. The ones who are belessed can lose this blessing. This is something that we need to remember. We must remember the stories in the bible of the ancestors are living stories that we must keep in our hearts. We must look into these stories and remember that these stories are actually the stories of our lives.

As descendants of faith, as ones who walk on this path, this path is a living path in the direction in which we need to walk to be blessed by God. The ways in which we must live is in the bible. This is why we must not lose our paths of faith. Instead, we must follow them according to how it is recroded. This is why Jacob is so important. Jacob is so great. He knew the preciousness of the faith his family had. He considered it precious and he wanted to receive the blessnig.

The wisdom of all wisdoms is the wisdom of fearing God. There is a big difference btween those who fear God and doesn't fear God. It is said that we lose our faith when we lose our reverence. This is when we have a crisis in faith. This is why the Magi who met the messiah feared God. They went on their own path, and they were able to meet the Lord.

The most important thing we must have is the wisdom of fearing the Lord. In everything we do, we must embrace the wisdom of fearing the Lord. It is said the ignorant and the foolish ones do not have this reverence.


We need to remember to find out all of the blessings that God has given to us. Rather than going on the path of the wicked and being judged, we should go on the path of the righeous.

It is said blessed are those who make the Lord his trust, and the ones who have regard for the weak.
