Verse from Proverbs

敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端，认识至圣者就是聪明。(箴言 9:10)

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10)

When we fear the Lord, we make it a point to not grieve Him by sinning. And by doing so, we can start to see that the more we want to obey Him, the more we can see things differently, in His perspective and experience life in a different way, a joyful and fulfilling way.
