The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding

 Job 27,28,29

As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter, as long as I have life within me,  the breath of God in my nostrils, my lips will not say anything wicked, and my tongue will not utter lies. I will never admit you are in the right;  till I die, I will not deny my integrity. I will maintain my innocence and never let go of it;  my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live.

But where can wisdom be found?  Where does understanding dwell? No mortal comprehends its worth;  it cannot be found in the land of the living. The deep says, “It is not in me”; the sea says, “It is not with me.” It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.

Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell? It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds in the sky.

And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”

How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me, when his lamp shone on my head  and by his light I walked through darkness! Oh, for the days when I was in my prime,  when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house, when the Almighty was still with me  and my children were around me, when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.

Why?

God is in everything and every space. So Job said where can wisdom be found?

Job knew the Lord was his king who controlled everything and his life. Job knew fear of the Lord is wisdom and to shun evil is understanding.

How?

Keep fearing the Lord and shun evil in my daily life.
