1 | What must we "understand"? | Job 28:28 | Aixen7z4 | 105507 | ||
It seems that in Job 28:28 there are two issues. One is Wisdom; the other is Understanding. One can have wisdom, and one can have understanding. The two are often found together. But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? God understands the way thereof, and he knows the place thereof. And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. A person who is really wise, or who really wants to be wise, will fear the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Prov 9:10). A person who wants to be “characterized by or to have comprehension, good sense, or discernment” (That is one of the dictionary definitions of the word “Understanding”) will depart from evil. The two are related. A wise man will have understanding. He understands that fearing God is incompatible with practicing evil. He will fear God and depart from evil. If a man really fears God he will depart from evil, for God hates evil and will punish it. Our God is a consuming fire. We are to have a reverential fear of him. We are to recognize his attitude toward evil, and depart from evil. If we are wise we will. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we fear God and yet we do not depart from evil, then there is something we still do not understand. |
