Job 28-30

Where can wisdom be found?  That is the question Job poetically asked in 28:12.  It is priceless beyond compare but where can men access it great wealth?  Only God can provide the directions to the wisdom mine because it is the fear of the LORD that is wisdom. (28:28)  This great truth and proclamation of Gods power is offered by a man whose life has been crushed, but who refuses to count God as in the wrong.  Job only has his faith to sustain him so he will not toss that aside to be left drifting in life.  It may not make sense to the human mind but when we are down to our last hope, when we have cast off every other thing that drags us down, we better be holding on to the faith that God has given us; it will endure.

It took me about 11 minutes to read this passage.
