Job (9)
Job 26-31
...The fear of the Lord--that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding. Job 28:28
Job stated that wisdom cannot be found among the living. It is natural for people who do not understand the importance of God's Word to seek wisdom here on earth. They look to philosophers and other leaders to give them direction for living. Yet Job said that wisdom is not found there. No leader or group of leaders can produce enough knowledge or insight to explain the totality of human experience. The ultimate interpretation of life, of who we are and where we are going, must come from outside and above our mortal life. When looking for guidance, seek God's wisdom as revealed in the Bible. To be lifted above and beyond the boundaries of life, we must know and trust the Lord of life.
"The fear of the Lord" means to have respect and reverence for God and to be in awe of his majesty and power. This is the starting point to finding real wisdom (Proverbs 1:7-9).
