Job 28: 7-8
7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: 8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
NET
The king of the animal kingdom is the lion. Our text reveals that the great and mighty of this world do not know the path talked about here. Knowing this path is not a function of strength or might. We see from further reading Job 28 (see verse 12,13) that the path talked about is the path of true wisdom. This kind of wisdom is creative and it builds up.
I've defined wisdom as that attribute in a man that makes him able to actualize his goals or visions. The bible says through wisdom is a house built(Prov 24:3), but the kind of wisdom we are talking about here is not the inferior one that can only build physical and temporal things but the one that also builds things of eternal value.
In verse 28, God himself shows us the key to this Wisdom, which is to fear Him. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (see Psalm 111:10). The fear of the lord means you have a God consciousness at all times and you fear to displease Him. This begins with first believing that God exists and that He constantly watches over you, and then you do not want to displease Him in anything you do. We shall examine tomorrow how the fear of the lord produces wisdom.
Go into today with a renewed consciousness that God watches over every moment of your life and He is always on your side.
Prayer: Thank you heavenly father for this day. I pray you empower me to live every moment of my life under your authority, in Jesus name. Amen
