Learning wisdom

?Job 28:12-13, 15, 17-21, 23-28 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. [17] Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can it be had for jewels of gold. [18] Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies. [19] The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold. [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. [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. [25] When he established the force of the wind and measured out the waters, [26] when he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm, [27] then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it. [28] And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.” Scriptures wanting to share, May, God, bless, comfort, guide and fill all who seek with inexpressible peace,joy, love and overflowing of the Holy Spirit

Wisdom is the most precious of gifts. Wisdom is a notion too deep. It can't be bought with money. We do not know where it dwells. But the scriptures teach us that wisdom stays with God. Those who seek wisdom may turn to God. 'Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." These are scriptures that help us to ponder on God and wisdom. Thanks Stephan for sharing. May God bless you.
