Wisdom is the main thing, but what exactly is it? It seems so mystical, so ethereal, so other-worldly. It is just a little bit intimidating and mysterious when you try to figure out what wisdom is according to man’s conception of it.
Job 28:28 states, “…Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.” It couldn’t mean to be afraid of God, so I consult a dictionary and find that “fear” means reverential awe and respect. “Awe” is defined as an emotion of reverence, respect, dread, and wonder inspired as by authority, genius, great beauty, or might. So then, the scriptures say that the main thing, the principal thing is to be in awe of our Maker.
