7 Start with God—the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.
Prov
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
To “fear” The Lord means to acknowledge his great power, his complete authority over us and all creation and his hatred of sin! It also means to acknowledge his love, mercy and goodness towards you and me!
3 Great is the Lord and highly to be praised; and His greatness is [so vast and deep as to be] unsearchable.
How Do I Show Reverence To God?
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
8 Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.
10 Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.

11 My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline, and don’t be upset when he corrects you.
12 For the Lord corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.
21 For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.
22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him.
23 He will die for lack of self-control; he will be lost because of his great foolishness.
Prov 5:21-23

12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.
13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.
