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.
14 The deep says, “It is not in me”; the sea says, “It is not with me.”
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[b] 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.
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.”
I think to fear the Lord…is to respect what He in His wisdom has made and what He says in His word, to believe it…and to have understanding is simple…shun what is evil.
He is jealous for me…he wants my complete commitment and my complete devotion!
My hope is to keep my commitment and my devotion set on Him! and what about you? Just ask God…Is this all there is to life? Well ….yes there is more to life…abundant life is yours for the asking…Rivers of living water are yours to drink!
