Daily Devotional | Wisdom from Fear | Psalm 111 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 111. In this devotional we are reminded that wisdom has a different meaning to Christians than to the unsaved world.

We Christians must have the fear, or deep respect, of the Lord in order to be wise. Let’s pray for wisdom today.
