Proverbs 9:10-11

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of
the Holy One is understanding. For through me your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life. NIV

There's a phrase there in those words that has always attracted me with
a peculiar kind of attraction. It's the phrase, "the knowledge of the
Holy One." Somehow, that pictures to me a place in fellowship and
relationship with God where we come to know God as He really is. And
when we come to know God in that way, we find, indeed, He is the Holy
One.

Holiness is an attribute of God that is not really shared in the same
degree by any of His creatures. I believe that the ultimate end of life
is to know God, the Holy One. I believe, in knowing God, there comes
wisdom and there comes also the temporal blessings of life, but it has
to be in the right order. We don't pursue the blessings, the temporal,
but we pursue the knowledge of the Holy One.

And then he says to us: "Through me your days will be many and years
will be added to your life." Make that your aim - make it your aim to
know God. Jesus said, "This is life eternal, that they might know Thee,
the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." Out of that
knowledge flows life, life in abundance, life for time and life for
eternity.
