Why? Because we are finite; we are imperfect. God alone knows the way to go. So, how do we know which way to go? We need wisdom. We need the wisdom of God to know which way to go. And before you ask, no human wisdom can show you which way to go. I like the way John Legend the RnB artist puts it in one of his songs, “We don’t know which way to go because we are ordinary people. He is bang on! In this age of information, knowledge is plentiful, but wisdom is scarce. There is a vast difference between being smart and being wise – smart is what the world gives; wise is what only God gives. Smart people can perform all kinds of technological wonders; they can find stars invisible to the eyes, visit space, and store volumes of information on a microchip; but even the greatest scientist are at a loss to discover the way to the wisdom of God. Only God can show you where to find wisdom because He alone is the source of wisdom; He is wisdom. True wisdom is having God’s perspective on life and it starts by fearing Him
Job gracefully delineates man's ignorance of the PRICE (you cannot buy it) and the PLACE (you don’t know where it is) of wisdom. Neither he nor nature knows the place of it: neither all living, nor the deep, nor the sea; and as for its price. Though man is prepared to give any high price for the costly stones and jewels of the earth, yet all that he has cannot buy Him the wisdom of God. It is the gift (that which is not earned but given) of Divine wisdom yields that greatest treasures. Wisdom is to know God. Wisdom is the ability to understand the Divine perspective and applying it to life comes from God alone. He is the only source. If you are going to become wise, you have to get to know God through His Word and take Him seriously. Fear of the Lord is the root of the plant of wisdom. What is the fear of the Lord? The fear of the Lord is a state of mind in which one’s own attitude, will, feelings, deeds, and goals are exchanged for Gods; that is, a Kingdom citizen, pursuing a Kingdom Agenda, living a Kingdom life. Wisdom is not “knowing good and evil.” Wisdom is knowing good from evil. The first verse of Job tells us that, “Job was blameless and upright, one who (what?) FEARED God and turned away from (what?) evil.” The fear of God turned him from evil; the Bible says in Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Wow! The root of wisdom is embedded in the fear of the Lord. The first step to wisdom is to “fear the Lord.” , to honour and respect God; to live in awe of His power.

Grace to you
