Week 24 - Day 4

Job 25-31

*Click here to read this passage:

“The words of Job are ended.”  This is the last of Job’s speeches with his friends.  Within it he speaks very eloquently about wisdom. 

“Where can wisdom be found?  Where does understanding come from?”  “It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed in silver.” 

“God understands the way to it and He alone knows where it dwells, for He views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.”

He sees what we can’t see.  That is why we need wisdom from God.  That is why we need to trust Him.

This made me think of a patient-doctor relationship.  We go to a doctor when we have a need because the doctor has wisdom that we don’t in that area.  They have training and tools so they can see what we can’t see, and so we trust them. 

I need wisdom to deal with struggles.  I need wisdom for things I say to people.  I need wisdom for how to raise my kids.  I need wisdom to be a good wife.  I need wisdom for the decisions I make in my life.  It is more precious than gold and lies in the hands of the One who created everything.  He sees what I can’t see and knows what I can’t know.  I will trust in Him.
