Proverbs and Job are part of the Wisdom Books of the Bible. In Job this question is asked: “Where shall wisdom be found?” (Job 28:12, 20). The answer is in God and his word, and the way that we get this wisdom is through fearing God. “The fear of the Lord, that is wisdom” (Job 28:28). Sounds like Proverbs, huh?

We also find wisdom in Jesus. The Bible tells us in Jesus “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col. 2:3). Do you ever think of wisdom as a treasure? Something you would hunt for? Well, it is! And Jesus is where we can find it. If you want to become wise, go to Jesus. That means read the Bible. Talk to him through prayer. Ask him to help you live wisely. And the wisest thing of all? Put all your faith in Jesus and what he has done for you on the cross. The Bible calls Jesus’s death on the cross “the wisdom of God” (1 Cor. 1:24). So where can wisdom be found? God’s word. Jesus. The cross.
