the wisdom mine

IMG_0310Job 28

Job’s therapists had claimed to be sharing great wisdom.  They thought they knew his situation and what caused it.  They thought they were helping him by their wisdom.  But Job speaks of wisdom as illusive.  He knows where gold and silver and precious stones come from.  But wisdom can only be found with God.  The book of Job challenges us to rethink our assumptions about how the world works. 

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”  James 1:5 ESV

LORD, we pray for wisdom.  Forgive us for looking for it in the wrong place.
