Job 28:23 (ESV Strong's)
“God understands the way to it,
and he knows its place.
Subject: God's Wisdom
Job is speaking to his friends and is telling them that no man can find wisdom. He tells them that the earth can't contain wisdom, hold wisdom, or reveal wisdom. But, God can. God holds Wisdom. Wisdom was there at creation (Proverbs 8-9). Christ is personified as wisdom in 1 Corinthians 2. When we seek Wisdom, we are seeking Christ. When we seek Christ, we find Wisdom. In the above verse it states that God understand the "way." The Hebrew word for "way" here is that of a path or road. God knows the ways of wisdom. He lays it out in HIs Word. He reveals it to His worshippers. We can know wisdom and know how to follow it. We can also have the strength to follow it. Wisdom is not a separate entity. The Fear of the Lord is wisdom. Having a relationship with Christ is to have Wisdom.
