This Resonated With Me Today

After listening to a couple of podcasts today (trying to catch up), the following verses in Job were set apart in my mind.

I was amazed at the literal explanation about the Earth and it's relation to being suspended in outer space. Furthermore, we see evidence of the planet's core underneath the crust, where grains are grown for bread.

Man can dig tunnels looking for precious ore, but where is wisdom found, that is worth so much more?


Job 26:7 (English Standard Version)

He stretches out the north over the void
and hangs the earth on nothing.

Job 28 (English Standard Version)

1"Surely there is a mine for silver,
and a place for gold that they refine.
2Iron is taken out of the earth,
and copper is smelted from the ore.
3Man puts an end to darkness
and searches out to the farthest limit
the ore in gloom and deep darkness.
4He opens shafts in a valley away from where anyone lives;
they are forgotten by travelers;
they hang in the air, far away from mankind; they swing to and fro.
5As for the earth, out of it comes bread,
but underneath it is turned up as by fire.
6Its stones are the place of sapphires,[a]
and it has dust of gold.

7"That path no bird of prey knows,
and the falcon’s eye has not seen it.
8 The proud beasts have not trodden it;
the lion has not passed over it.

9"Man puts his hand to the flinty rock
and overturns mountains by the roots.
10He cuts out channels in the rocks,
and his eye sees every precious thing.
11He dams up the streams so that they do not trickle,
and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.


I think the answer to wisdom's location is pretty obvious:

Job 28:28 (English Standard Version)

And he said to man,'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
and to turn away from evil is understanding.'"

Good Night
