2-minute devotion for Sunday, 1/11/26
Did you know that although it is famous in world literature, Job is one of the least-read books of the Bible? To me, studying the book of Job is analogous to climbing Mt. Everest. And writing about it has been just as challenging. However, I have learned a lot while reading and studying Job, and over the next few days I want to share a few of the insights that seemed especially important to me.
- The value of God’s wisdom is beyond our ability to comprehend.
“But where can wisdom be found?
Where does understanding dwell?
No mortal comprehends its worth …
It cannot be bought with the finest gold,
nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir,
with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.
Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it,
nor can it be had for jewels of gold…
it cannot be bought with pure gold.
Where then does wisdom come from?
Where does understanding dwell?
… 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 looked at wisdom and appraised it;
he confirmed it and tested it.
And he said to the human race,
“The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
and to shun evil is understanding.” Job 28:12-13, 15-17, 20, 24, and 28 (emphasis mine) Read full chapter
More to come!
In His Love, Cindy
