Does the right starting point = a favorable destination

Proverbs 9:10-12 NLT

Fear of the LORD is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. Wisdom will multiply your days
and add years to your life. If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.

***************************************

The fountain of youth,  the secret of success, or the path of enlightenment all seem to be at least in part descriptive of the promise that comes with wisdom.
Wisdom for many always to be an elusive character trait that is often misunderstood. Take a moment and try and define wisdom.

So where does one begin if they want wisdom? Proverbs 9 implies that wisdom starts with God. Do you believe in God? Do you recognise he is all powerful? Do you remember that he made you? You are designed by him. You personally are God's intimate creation.
So with this relationship it is obvious that you are under him. And since you are his creation, you are meant to serve his purposes. You are designed to fulfil his will for you. God has every right to judge your performance. He has no equal.
So to respect him is your place. To understand his power is great, and his righteousness is unparalleled should make you crystal clear that you are completely dependant upon him.
The more you see who he is and understand who he is, the more you will gain wisdom. The more you agree with him and live in your rightful place before him, the more that your life will realise his great promises.

So let's look at those promises.

Wisdom
Understanding
Long life
Good judgment
And benefit rather than suffering for your foolishness.

Make wisdom your goal.

Make knowing God rightly your goal.
Make a reformation of your own place before God your goal.
Make worship your goal.

What are your thoughts on wisdom and the great of God?
