“But where can wisdom be found, and where is understanding located? No one can know its value, since it cannot be found in the land of the living. Gold cannot be exchanged for it, and silver cannot be weighed out for its price. Coral and quartz are not worth mentioning. The price of wisdom is beyond pearls.
He said to mankind, “The fear of the Lord #— #that is wisdom. And to turn from evil is understanding.” ”
Job 28:12-13, 15, 18, 28 CSB
I have spent so much of my life pursuing success and achievement. I knew that those things most consistently come through wisdom and understanding. For decades, I sought those, even from the right places, but my motive was for selfish gain…it is sad to realize it now.
Lord, you are the source of wisdom and knowledge. But knowing You and living in surrender to Your will is the best measure of success…God, help me to live as if that were true!
