Stirred By The Scriptures

Some thoughts on wisdom from Job -

“There is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.
Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.
Man puts an end to the darkness; he searches the farthest recesses for ore in the blackest darkness…

But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?”

Wisdom is a scarce commodity. As valuable as gold, silver and other minerals are, they are in abundant supply compared to wisdom. I don’t know many wise individuals. As Job goes on to say the problem is we usually are looking in the wrong direction. It is the “fear of the Lord - that is wisdom.” To look and to move toward God as my source for living life wisely. Why not take a look, a long look.
