Where does wisdom come from?
And … Do we believe our answer?
As professing believers in Jesus Christ our obvious answer is not always the one that rings most true in our lives, i.e. the answer we give in our group Bible study might not match our daily choices in responding to the people around us and the various circumstances of life.
Established behavior and thought patterns often trump our Lord’s instruction.
If we truly bow before our God in reverence, then we will find wisdom at it’s Source.
- Job 28:20-28
Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding?21 Thus it is hidden from the eyes of all living And concealed from the birds of the sky.22 Abaddon and Death say, ‘With our ears we have heard a report of it.’
23 God understands its way, And He knows its place.
24 For He looks to the ends of the earth And sees everything under the heavens.
25 When He imparted weight to the wind And meted out the waters by measure,
26 When He set a limit for the rain And a course for the thunderbolt,
27 Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out.
28 And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.”
