Subject: Seven Pillars?

Bible Note: Greetings again, Mommapbs!

Only in Job 11:6 does the Bible directly speak of two different aspects of wisdom. A "wise man" or person is he or she who gives to the things of God the same acuteness that other men give to worldly affairs (Luke 16:8). Therefore, I do not see that there are actually "seven aspects" of wisdom itself, as the Zondervan commentary had stated, but there are many, many more than seven ways in which wisdom can be applied:

Wisdom is not inherited (Job 11:12), but teached (Psalm 105:22).

Wisdom, or a lack thereof (Job 38:2), will give you a reputation (2 Chronicles 9:23).

Wisdom comes from God (1 Kings 3:9-15; 4:29-34), and wisdom comes as a product of diligent study of His Word (Psalm 119:33-38; 97-100).

Wealth is fleeting without wisdom (Psalm 49:20), and wisdom begins with the Lord (Psalm 111:10).

Wisdom brightens countenance (Ecclesiastes 8:1), and those who walk in wisdom trust the ways of the Lord (Hosea 14:9).

God's wisdom is beyond our grasp (Isaiah 55:9), even though it is He who reveals His truths to little children (Luke 10:21).

We may consider ourselves as "wise" by our own means (1 Corinthians 4:10), even though it was God's intent to make His wisdom known through the church (Ephesians 3:10).

The Son of God has come to give us wisdom and understanding (1 John 5:20), so that we will have the ability to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:18).

Blessings to you,
