The Principal Thing

Today's verse is Job 28:18 

     No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls:

      For the price of wisdom is above rubies.

    Where do you place your treasure? Or what do you value most? In the middle of what seems to be Job’s Hubris, we find both what is to be valued, and how to obtain it. Did not Solomon counsel us, “Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding[?]” So, what is this Wisdom, and how do we obtain this understanding? Job tells us, “Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.” Today, can Wisdom be found in the Earth? Do even they who are called by the Name of Jesus, who have the Honor of being identified as the Bride of Christ (The Church) display the Fear of God, is there any appearance that they are setting the example and departing from evil (Those things that God hates?) Yet, it is not too late, to not only Reverence God, but to Fear and Tremble in his presence, and as John has been Counseled, “Come out of her, my people, That ye be not partakers of her sins, And that ye receive not of her plagues.” So, will you seek Wisdom? And in your getting of Wisdom will you also get understanding? And in seeking these things, seek out those that are doing the same. Amen.

To God be the Glory
