WHERE IS WISDOM?

Job 28 is one of the most beautiful poems in the Bible about wisdom. I summarized it here, but admonish you to read the chapter.

There is a path which no fowl knows, the vulture's eye has not seen, and the fierce lion passes by.

God put forth His hand upon the rock and overturned the mountains by roots, cut out rivers, His eye seeing every precious thing.

But where is wisdom found, and where is the place of understanding? It is not in the sea. It can't be bought with precious onyx or sapphire. It's price is above rubies or pure gold.

God knows. He looks to the ends of the earth and sees under the whole heaven. He weighs the winds and waters. When He made a decree for the rain and a way for the lightening of the thunder, then He saw it, declared it, prepared it, and searched it out.

Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of The Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

God is an awesome God -- all knowing, ever present, unlimited power, holy, and full of grace, love, and glory.

Fearing God is reverencing Him for who He is.
