Some in Life Get It, And Some Don't

Our Bible study at church this morning is taken from Job 28. As I was going back over the passage, the last four verses stood out:
When God fixed the weight of the wind
and limited the water by measure,
when He established a limit for the rain
and a path for the lightning,
He considered wisdom and evaluated it;
He established it and examined it.
He said to mankind,
“Look! The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
and to turn from evil is understanding."
(Job 28:25-28, HCSB)
The last two lines are particularly striking. The choice for humanity was set at the beginning of creation. This same choice was echoed by Moses in Deut 30:19-20.
And I remember another wise person once saying, "In life some people get it; some don't." Me? I want to be one of the ones who gets it.
