WISDOM
JOB 28
MAN CAN DO AMAZING THINGS,
MAN THE EXPLORER, VS.1-3
MAN THE ENGINEER, VS.4-11
MAN CANNOT ATTAIN WISDOM ON HIS OWN,
MAN DOES NOT KNOW ITS VALUE, VS.12-14
MAN CANNOT BUY IT: ITS INVALUABLE, VS.15-19
WISDOM IS IN GOD ALONE AND HE ALONE REVEALS IT,
WISDOM IS HIDDEN, VS.21-22
(2 QUESTIONS TO PONDER; HOW DO WE HAVE THE
WISDOM WE NEED WHERE TRUTH INTERSECTS WITH LIFE?
WHERE IS THE WISDOM THAT LEADS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS?)
GOD IS ALL KNOWING AND ALL POWERFUL, VS.23-27
WISDOM IS GOD’S CLOSEST COMPANION, VS. 27
PROV.8:22-31 …
WISDOM BECOMES INCARNATE IN JESUS CHRIST, I COR.1:30
GOD ALONE REVEALS WISDOM, VS.28
“AND TO MAN HE SAID”
WE KNOW WHAT WE KNOW BECAUSE GOD SAID IT.
“BEHOLD, THE FEAR OF THE LORD …”
“TO FEAR THE LORD MEANS TO TREMBLE BEFORE HIM
BECAUSE OF THE HOLINESS OF HIS CHARACTER AND HIS
JUST JUDGEMENT AGAINST ALL WICKEDNESS; AND TO
TRUST HIM UNRESERVEDLY BECAUSE OF THE BOUNTY OF
HIS GOODNESS, MERCY AND BLESSING TOWARD THOSE WHO
TURN TO HIM ALONE FOR THEIR LIFE AND WELL-BEING -- -
EXPRESSING ITSELF IN, 1) A RESOLVED AND FERVENT
OPPOSTION TO ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS AND WICKEDNESS,
AND, 2) A RESOLVED AND FERVENT OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S
LAW, IN HUMBLE RECOGNITION OF GOD’S RIGHTFUL
AUTHORITY OVER OUR LIVES, FOR HIS GLORY AND OUR
GOOD.”
