"The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom!" Job 28:28

Some imagine wisdom consists . . .
in amassing wealth,
or in popularity, 
or in self-indulgence.

But Scripture informs us that wisdom consists in fearing and pleasing God. For he who fears to offend God, will be sure to please Him. Those who fear God:
receive His Word,
believe His gospel,
trust in His Son,
worship at His throne,
observe His ordinances,
copy His example,
seek His assistance,
withdraw from His enemies,
unite with His friends,
resist Satan, and
strive against sin. 
This is true wisdom, for . . .
the Omnipotent is their friend, 
the wealth of the universe is their portion,
and the mansions of glory their home! 

If the man who . . .
escapes the greatest dangers,
secures the greatest good,
enjoys the greatest pleasure, and
obtains the greatest honour
—is truly wise; then every real Christian is wise! For such is the happiness of every one who truly fears God.

"The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom!"
