23 God understands the way to it
    and he alone knows where it dwells,24 for he views the ends of the earth
    and sees everything under the heavens.25 When he established the force of the wind
    and measured out the waters,26 when he made a decree for the rain
    and a path for the thunderstorm,27 then he looked at wisdom and appraised it;
    he confirmed it and tested it.28 And he said to the human race,
    “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,    and to shun evil is understanding.”   Job 28:23-28
 
There are two types of wisdom being spoken of here – the wisdom that God holds, which is wisdom of all things seen and unseen , and the wisdom shared with us by the LORD. Where is such wisdom ?  It is found in Jesus, in God’s Word , through the help of the Holy Spirit , we can attain such wisdom by faith and belief. We can gain both wisdom and a deeper understanding with a healthy, proper fear of the LORD, and by keeping the ways of Satan behind us !!
 
Let us pray together – All Knowing and All Loving Father, You alone know , understand and are wise to things temporal and spiritual. You created all things, brought all into being through Your mighty hand. We pray to You now that we can gain more and more understanding, knowledge and wisdom of You divine will. Allow us to be open to the sustaining works of The Holy Spirit, that through faith we can be more Christ-like as each day passes. All this we pray through Jesus, our Savior.  Amen.
 
Yours in Christ  ,  Rollie

Job 28:23-28

Fear of the Lord is wisdom – I must say that I have always had trouble with fearing the Lord. I guess with old age and WISDOM came the realization that the old testament use of the word fear to me means love or obeying or worship. If I truly love the Lord and follow His word then I will know how to live my life.

Job 28: 23-28

28 And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord---that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”

We are all sinners but through the teachings of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ we know how to live. We attempt to follow these teachings and learn how to avoid sin. It is not always easy, but just being able to recognize when we are wrong and repent is the wisdom given to us from God. We are encouraged to fear the Lord and to repent and have faith that we will have eternal life.

Dearest Lord, thank you for giving us the wisdom to know how you want us to live. Thank you for giving us the knowledge when we do wrong and to repent when we do. Your love for us cannot be denied and I thank you every day for your understanding and love. Amen.
