Chapter 8: Understanding God’s Word

These two realities can get interesting and humorous if you operate in areas of the sciences like I do. For me, I know that people who lack spiritual insights also lack understanding and wisdom. Where then is the SOURCE of wisdom and insight? It is God Almighty. Consider these words of Job.

“From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding? [21]

It is hidden from the eyes of all living,

And concealed from the birds of the air. [22]

Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’ [23]

God understands its way, And He knows its place. [24]

For He looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole heavens, [25]

To establish a weight for the wind,

And apportion the waters by measure. [26]

When He made a law for the rain, And a path for the thunderbolt, [27]

Then He saw wisdom and declared it; He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out. [28]

And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ” Job 28:20-28

When You Depart From Evil, You’ll Understand!
