Wisdom and the Fear of the Lord

 Scripture:

“And this is what he says to all humanity: ‘The fear of the Lord is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding.’”” ‭‭Job‬ ‭28‬:‭28‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Job is speaking here about wisdom. Just before this, he says that wisdom cannot be found in the depths of the ocean, beneath the lower parts of the earth, or in the heavens. He speaks much about wisdom, then comes to this conclusion, “The fear of the Lord is true wisdom.” It was the Lord who made everything we see. He waters the earth and provides sun when we need it. He causes the tides and keeps everything in motion. Fearing Him truly is the wisest thing we can do. 

Application:

God created everything we see and He can end it all at His demand. The place we should remain is in the place of humility and fearing Him. Humility realizes that God is greater than every other philosopher. We must learn to humble ourselves before God’s mighty hand and let Him work in our lives. We must learnt to submit to Him in all areas and let Him have control. Fear of the Lord will keep us on the right path.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You are awesome and I love You so much. Let me walk with the wise and understand the fear of the Lord better. You are God and I am not! Help me to realize that more each day. Teach me to listen to Your voice and obey in the fear of the Lord. You are amazing and it is an honor to serve You.

Forever Yours,

Jeff
