True wisdom begins not with human knowledge, but with reverence for God.
The fear of the Lord is the foundation upon which all understanding is built. This reverential awe acknowledges God's sovereignty and our dependence on Him. Without this starting point, all our learning is incomplete and our knowledge lacks its proper context.
