1. The of wisdom Job 28:1-2, 9-11 (NIV) There is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined. 2 Iron is taken from the earth,and copper is smelted from ore. 9 People assault the flinty rock with their hands and lay bare the roots of the mountains. 10 They tunnel through the rock; their eyes see all its treasures. 11 They search the sources of the rivers and bring hidden things to light. Job 28:12-13,15,18 (NIV) 12 But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell? 13 No mortal comprehends its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living. 15 It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver. 18 Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies. What is Wisdom? The ability to apply God’s revealed truth, knowledge, and understanding to life in a way that brings glory to God, benefits others, and results in godly character 2. The of wisdom Job 28:20-24 (NIV) 20 Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell? 21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds in the sky. 22 Destruction and Death say, “Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.” 23 God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells, 24 for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens. Job 28:28 (NIV) 28 And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.” Your attitude toward reveals your attitude toward Psalm 24:3-4 (NIV) 3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? 4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.
