Hosea 4 vs.6 says: My people are destroyed for lack
of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge; I will also reject thee,
that thou shalt be no priest to me; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy
GOD, I will also forget thy children. Many have refuse to learn from their
past, many have been destroyed for lack of knowledge. As Christians we are
priest, but when we lack the knowledge of GOD and forget his law, then our
priesthood is questionable. As priest of GOD we are to fear GOD; fearing GOD brings
wisdom. As priest of GOD we are to get the knowledge of GOD which is the first
step towards getting understanding. Proverb
9 vs. 10: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of
the holy is understanding. 1 Peter 2 vs. 5:
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy
priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to GOD by JESUS
CHRIST. As priest we are to be holy, pure and offer to GOD things that
please him. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a
peculiar people; that we should show forth the praises of him who hath called
us out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Job
was a perfect and upright man. He feared GOD and eschewed evil. This made him
held fast his integrity, despite all he faced. GOD’s wisdom was evident on his
life, because he feared GOD; no wonder he held to his integrity when the wife
told him to curse GOD and die; no wonder he told his wife in Job 2 vs. 10: But he said unto her, thou
speakest as one of the foolish women speaks. What? Shall we receive good at the
hand of GOD, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with
his lips. Job’s wife exhibited the wisdom of men; but Job exhibited the
true wisdom, which comes from GOD. The bible said Men know how to mine silver
and refine gold. To dig iron from the earth and melt copper from stone. Men
know how to tear apart flinty rocks and how to overturn the roots of mountains.
But though men can do all these things, they don’t know where to find wisdom
and understanding. Wisdom is far more valuable than gold and glass. It cannot
be bought for jewels mounted in fine gold.
Job 28 vs. 20: Then where can we get it? Where can it be found? Vs. 23 says:
And GOD surely knows where it is to be found. Vs. 28: And this is what he says
to all mankind; Look, to fear the LORD is true wisdom, to forsake evil is real
understanding. True wisdom begins and ends with GOD. It continues tomorrow.
It is well with us….
