The fear of the Lord = Taking heed, doing, and giving more honor to the things God says, His Word, than to anything men/women say
The fear of Man = Taking heed, doing, and giving more honor to the things men/women say over the things God says
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. There are two different "realities" in the world. One is "Truth" and the other is "Lies." If we believe God's Word is truth then we will reside in that reality and act out of that truth. If we fear men's/women's opinions of us over what God says then we live in the reality of lies. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. We can only begin to gain wisdom when we believe God's word is truth and are not swayed by anyone's opinion otherwise. When we reside in this reality of truth we will become wise to the degree of the amount of time we spend there. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Taking God at His word is the beginning to gaining wisdom.
