Psalm 111 "The Fear of God"

This week, I've been reading in Psalm 111. Verse 10 really struck me... "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." The way this really hits me is in the context of God's will and man's will seldom lining up. YWAMers and many others use the phrase "Take God out of the box you've put Him in." Obviously there's the understanding that God isn't really in a box but we've put Him there in our minds. What this really does is  limits the ways we get to see God working in our lives as we fail to recognize God's sovereign hand in the happenings around us. <-- Random tangent. ":)

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. How many times do we take  the 'norm' of the world and try to force that upon God's ways or will? If we feared the LORD and had the correct understanding of how we simply can't understand His ways, I think we'd be a whole lot happier and wiser. Instead of looking to our own logic, we'd realize that the most logical thing would be to follow God's will no matter how odd, stupid or childish the acts He calls us to do seem. I truly believe we'd see so many more crazy Divine occurrences happen throughout our lives because we're willing to step out in faith because we fear the LORD.
