Wisdom

Job 11:5-9 – Oh, how I wish that God would speak, that he would open his lips against you and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin. “Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 – However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—the things God has prepared for those who love him—these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

Genesis 15:5 – He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”

Job 36:26 – How great is God—beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.

Application:

• ·         “Spirit searches all things”, not in order to know them, for He knows all things.
• ·         More than 8,000 stars are clearly visible to the naked eye in the darkness of a Near Eastern night.
• ·         That God’s ways and thoughts are infinitely higher than ours is an important theme.
