The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10
The fear or reverence of God is where wisdom begins. But beyond the beginning of wisdom lies a continuum of behaviors and ways of being that constitute its existential dimensions in your lived experience as a creative Person of the I AM. These behaviors include a disciplined lifestyle; the habit of functioning from a God perspective; a cultivated discernment to apply both natural and spiritual knowledge to concrete situations; and a determination to bring about only good on the earth.
If you are seeking personal transformation/evolution, then you will strive to live an ordered, intentional, and focused life in which you choose to function from a God mindset.
Because you desire to become a transformed/evolved Person of the I AM, you will come to understand the importance of lifelong learning. You will never be content to live on what you learned yesterday, but will always be studying and learning from what presents itself to you today.
As a transformed/evolved Person of the I AM, you will one day be able to say as Thomas Troward once said:
"My mind is a center of Divine operation. The Divine operation is always for expansion and fuller expression. And this means the production of something that has not gone before; something entirely new, not included in past experience, although proceeding out of it by an orderly sequence of growth. Therefore, since the Divine cannot change its inherent nature, it must operate in the same way in me. Consequently, in my own special world of which I am the center, it must move forward to produce new conditions, always in advance of any that have gone before."
Until that day for you arrives, concentrate on positive, creative thinking that has the production of good as its focus. If you will do this every day, one day at a time, you will be surprised one day to find that you are exactly what you always truly wanted to be.
