Talk about a time when you needed wisdom the most – if you had to choose just one.

If a monetary figure could assess how precious wisdom and understanding are to Job (vv. 13-19), what figure would you pick? Thinking about your answer to the first question, how much was that wisdom worth to you? Is there any part of your life where you could say you value wisdom as much as Job expressed?

How does one answer Job’s question, “Where then does wisdom come from?” (vv. 12, 20)? Does it appear to be easily available? Plainly seen? Mysteriously hidden? Divinely revealed? Spiritually discerned? Commonly overlooked?

Define human “wisdom” and give an example. Define biblical “wisdom” and give an example. Do the same for “fear”.

Is there an area of your life where you experience “the fear of the Lord”? How does that affect your decisions or behavior?
