Definition of a wise person

Proverbs 14:16 “A wise man fears the Lord and shuns evil, but a fool is hotheaded and reckless.” Fear does not mean to be afraid of, but rather to stand in awe of.  As human beings it is impossible to understand the magnificence and power of God.  We mistakenly reason that God is a super human.  The truth is:  God is God–there is NOTHING to compare Him to.  The Creator of the universe.  The One who carries you and me.  The Savior who calls you and me His own and has adopted us as His precious children—That indescribable God we stand in awe of and try the best we can, in our meager way, to return His great love.
