The Fear of the Lord Is Wisdom
Job searches through the whole of chapter 28 for wisdom — the depths of the earth, the place where gold is refined, the hidden caverns no bird has ever seen. Every source gives the same answer: wisdom is not here. Then God speaks: “The fear of the Lord — that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.” Today’s devotional explores what that fear actually is (not terror — awe), what it produces in us, and the personal testimony that the hardest seasons are often where God is doing the most.
