Lena Journals to Job 28

Where our treasure is our hearts will be also.
I wonder what makes something a treasure to us? Is it the hard work that increases its value?
Look at what people go through to find a colored rock to sell it for money, or to give it as a gift representative of life given for something of value to give to someone.
As this states, how much of that life and the time that life has, is given to wisdom?
How much seeking does one do to really find themselves in a continual relationship with God? For He is wisdom, and in Him is found understanding.
People are the source of wisdom and understanding, but in order to gain it, one must do what it takes and risk all, to relate to people. It’d be easier to “relate” to rocks!
Does one value the pursuit of relationship more than the pursuit of rocks?
This relational wisdom, and understanding cannot be bought with money, yet it takes one’s life to get it, to have it.
It is hidden from the eyes of all humanity? What does that mean? It is not human wisdom, it is not natural understanding, that can be obtained through studies of human minds and hearts. It is a spiritual treasure that can only be found in the heart and mind of the Maker, Creator God.
One must know Him, personally, in order to have some. Trust Him enough to do whatever He says no matter how absurd to the mind that what was stated seems. One with wisdom will follow Him to places we’ve never seen or heard of, both naturally and spiritually speaking.
Have faith in God.
The fear of the Lord is the very beginning.
What kind of fear?
Reverent respect, with the giving of the highest honor and regard.
His word and the regard for it is first consideration and it is way more than just a consideration. It is what I seek first. I want what it says, enough to embrace what I’ve heard for the first time, and do it.
It is so strong in me, I compare it to being afraid, It is that charging and motivating, I fear to not do what He says, not because of a lack of faith, not because I fear evil, but because of my love for Him, and His ways. My desire to follow them is much stronger than my desire to consider other ways.
It is all about regard.
Do I regard God’s words or my own opinions of those words or the teachings I’ve had from the world, more?
If I fear the Lord, this is not even a question that comes to mind.
I do His will.
