Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

Wisdom Begins HereProverbs 9:10
No. 120
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.Proverbs 9:10

Fear of God isn't cowering terror — it's reverent awe. It's the posture that says: You are God and I am not. From that foundation everything else follows. Wisdom doesn't start with intelligence or experience — it starts with acknowledging who God is.

Reflect

How would your decisions today change if you approached each one with reverent awe of God?

Prayer

Lord, give me the fear of the LORD — not terror, but holy reverence that shapes every decision I make. Amen.
