Scripture says in Job 28:28:
“And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.’”
We often search for wisdom in places where it cannot be found. Many pursue the wisdom of the world—wisdom that is hidden from the true reality of life but exposed to the prince of this world.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. On this journey of wisdom, the Lord opens the faculties of your mind and aligns them to His will. Wisdom is good, but it becomes complete when joined with understanding. You can be wise, yet lack the understanding of the wisdom you carry.
It is like having a dream but failing to understand it. Dreams often bring revelation, but without understanding, the mystery behind the counsel remains hidden. Wisdom may make you aware, but understanding gives you depth.
Wisdom itself is a mystery. By His wisdom, God created the world; but by His understanding, He knew that man should not be alone and provided a helper. Eden itself required someone to tend the garden and have dominion.
To walk in true wisdom, you must first come to the only wise God. The wisdom of God may seem like foolishness to men, yet with spiritual eyes you can discern the mind of God in every matter. Just one word of wisdom from God has the power to change a generation.
That is why the Bible emphasizes: “Get wisdom; and in all your getting, get understanding.”
Job 28:12 also asks:
“But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?”
The answer is clear: there is no better place to find it than in Christ Jesus, for the value of wisdom is far above rubies.
In today’s world, what we desperately need is the wisdom of God. So, friends, ask the Lord who gives generously to all, that He may grant you His wisdom and enlighten the eyes of your understanding.
Stay Revived!
