Job 28:12-13, 23-24, 27-28

Wisdom

12 “But do people know where to find wisdom?
Where can they find understanding?
13 No one knows where to find it,
for it is not found among the living...
23 “God alone understands the way to wisdom;
he knows where it can be found,
24 for he looks throughout the whole earth
and sees everything under the heavens...
27 Then he saw wisdom and evaluated it.
He set it in place and examined it thoroughly.
28 And this is what he says to all humanity:
‘The fear of the Lord is true wisdom;
to forsake evil is real understanding.’”

As we observe the world, it seems that wisdom is elusive and difficult to find. Few of us grasp the quiet depth of wisdom. What is the secret and the source of wisdom? Find the answer in The Book of Job 28:12-28.

True wisdom is attained by developing within yourself the fear of the Lord. Wisdom relates to trust, humility, teachability, servanthood, responsiveness and reliance on God. To fear God is to nurture an attitude that is contrary to our human nature. This is an attitude of awe and humility before God and a walk in total dependence upon Him in every area of our life.
