“I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man: And the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.”
Job 32:8 KJV
‘The longer you live, the wiser you become.’ But I see I was wrong—it’s God’s Spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty One, that makes wise human insight possible. Elihu suddenly makes an appearance, a descendant of Abraham’s brother Nahor’s son Buz. Elihu starts by saying quite rightly that wisdom doesn’t come with age, but the Spirit of God gives understanding of true wisdom. In the old covenant, God Almighty chose to give the Spirit of wisdom to the children of Israel whom He had chosen out of all the people in the world. Moses and Joshua were notable in operating in the Spirit of Wisdom. Through the new covenant, God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, has given to us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of our understanding being enlightened; that we may know our inheritance and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places. Hallelujah!
