Where is wisdom?

“From where then does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?
It is hidden from the eyes of all living,
And concealed from the birds of the air.
Destruction and Death say,
‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’
God understands its way,
And He knows its place.
For He looks to the ends of the earth,
And sees under the whole heavens, - Job 28.20-24

Where does real wisdom come from?

That question has plagued mankind as long as man has recorded his thought. Philosophers of every society and culture have sought wisdom A philosopher is, after all, a ‘lover of wisdom.’

False philosophers and false wisdom have come and gone though the millennia and still man looks for true wisdom comes only from God. He understand the way of wisdom. He knows its place. He sees how it works.

The fear of the Lord is where true wisdom starts. And that is where our paths diverge. The world seeks one path of wisdom and God’s people seek another. The wisdom of the world if foolish to God and God’s wisdom seems foolish to the world.

With that in mind it makes sense that we are never going to see eye to eye.

It is up to us to decide whose wisdom to follow. In our own search for wisdom we must seek the Lord’s wisdom and not be caught up in the world’s foolish pursuit of the world’s way.

It is more important than ever that we choose God’s way in the tumultuous days ahead.
