Day 273 What We’ve Learned | Proverbs 1:7

Send us a text

What if the gap between information and transformation is reverence? We take a focused look at Proverbs 1:7—“Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge”—and unpack why awe, not ego, is where learning truly begins. Rather than collecting spiritual facts, we explore the practice of building a life that’s grounded in humility, patience, gratitude, and a daily return to Scripture.

Across this reflective close to our Lessons for Life series, we trace the themes that kept surfacing week after week: choosing humility over self‑certainty, practicing patience when urgency pressures us, and cultivating gratitude that steadies the heart. We talk about the difference between knowing about God and knowing God, and how a posture of reverence reshapes decisions, relationships, and habits from the inside out. Practical steps pull it all together: write down your top three lessons from this season, pray over them, and tie each one to a simple, repeatable action so wisdom moves from notes to rhythms.

If you’re craving spiritual clarity, looking to deepen your walk with God, or simply wanting a grounded way to apply Scripture day by day, this conversation offers both guidance and gentle accountability. You’ll hear a short prayer to help you carry these lessons into tomorrow and a reminder that wisdom grows through small, faithful steps taken in God’s presence. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a quick review telling us your top three—what’s on your list?

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.
