Good Tuesday
Job 28:28
“And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.”
Proverbs 1:7
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction”.
Can you make a guess as to how many years are between these two verses? If you said 1200- that is correct.
Job was talking about wisdom and that there was nothing as valuable or precious on earth that could compare with it. In other words- wisdom is priceless.
He then makes the bold statement that the fear- the reverence- of the Lord is where wisdom comes from. You can’t buy it- find it- or dig it up. Wisdom comes from the Lord to those who humbly ask Him.
Solomon says the exact same thing. In Proverbs chapter 1- verses 20 thru 33-wisdom is calling to people to come to her and find security.
When we revere the Lord as Creator of all things- then our hearts and our brains will rely on His wisdom and not the lies of this world.
If you honor the Lord- then He will honor you with His wisdom.
