| 0:00.0 | Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net. |
| 0:06.0 | Proverbs chapter 9 verse 10. |
| 0:08.7 | The fear of the Lord is the seen as you read through the Proverbs like over and over and over again, especially at the very beginning, but then it keeps coming back up at different points in the book of Proverbs and I think that's intentional. I know it's intentional the |
| 0:36.3 | Holy Spirit has inspired every word in the Bible and it's all in its particular place for a purpose and so it's good I think |
| 0:47.5 | amidst all kinds of so helpful practical sayings in the Bible about how to live wisely, to remember to step |
| 0:59.0 | back and remember that the beginning point for wisdom is the fear of God. |
| 1:06.0 | Like wisdom flows from seeing God for who he is and responding to God appropriately. |
| 1:17.7 | The knowledge of the Holy One, |
| 1:19.9 | Proverbs 910 says, is insight. |

| 2:30.9 | And again, it's not that all our questions are necessarily wrong in that and all our |
| 2:39.1 | planning is necessarily wrong. The problem is our starting point. Our starting point must be God |
| 2:48.4 | centered, not man-centered. So then the question about money, it's not how can I make the most money so I could live it up in this world so I could store up treasures on earth and experience all this world has to offer like that's not wise. |
