Tune your ears to wisdom,
and concentrate on understanding.
Cry out for insight,
and ask for understanding.
Search for them as you would for silver;
seek them like hidden treasures.
Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord,
and you will gain knowledge of God.
How will we understand God and learn to fear Him?
Well, this obviously wont happen by sitting down and doing nothing. A good viewpoint of our God is very important. With reverence and awe we see God. One might ask, “How do I attain this fear of God? How will I get this reverence and awe for Him?” The answer to this question is very simple. The more you read your Bible, and learn about God, the bigger He gets. I mean, if we really want to veiw God the way He is supposed to be seen, the only way you can do this is by learning about Him. God is constantly explained all throughout the Bible, and it is OUR job to read it, study it, and learn everything about God. In the Bible it explains WHO He is, what He has DONE, and what He is DOING, and what He will DO. So let’s increase our knowledge (daily) by getting into God’s Word!
This short blog is designed to get you to READ YOUR BIBLE! I cannot stress enough how important this is! The Bible is the living word of God....God breathed! Do you realize what this means? The creator of everything, from the trillions of unseen atoms, to the 250,000,000 x 250,000,000 stars, intricatley placed across our vast universe....HE has written a book! Like I said before, the Bible wasn't written by a bunch of old guys, IT IS WRITTEN BY GOD! He did not write this best seller to be ignored or maybe read by people, He wrote it so that ALL mankind can read, learn, and repent! This book is powerful and I STRONGLY recommend reading it. Without it, the world is lost. So if you really want to be wise (and Im not talking about worldy knowledge, because in the end it is useless).....If you want to be wise.....READ. THE. BIBLE. Let us build our minds and fill it with scripture so that we can get to know our closest friend, our father, our creator...the almighty God.
Proverbs 2:6
For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding...

Awesome blog Luke! It is super encouraging to see you care about other people's spiritual condition! It really is humbling to get into God's Word. When I read about creation and I see God's holiness in Scripture and I think about the trillions of atom and the myriads of stars in the sky, I cannot help but fear God. Listen to this blog people! Luke Melrose knows what he is talking about!

Great blog Luke! What book is worth more of our attention than a book written by the Almighty God? I love the Bible, and am encouraged (by you blog) to read and study the Bible more and more. Who is God? "I'll check the Book he wrote." Good stuff!

Awesome blog luke!!! This is so important, and i am so encouraged by reading this! It is awesome to think how amazing our God is, by looking at nature, the stars, the moon, the things that he has given me like family, friends, and dancing; and the Lord of the universe wrote a book for me to read! It is all so amazing and the Lord created it all! The more i read my Bible, the more that i fear God, and want to live like him and for him!!! This blog is awesome Luke!!
