Read It!

  Opened a brand new package of yellow legal pads so surely something must be written on this virgin untouched piece of modern parchment. But what? After brief consideration, it seems a good thing to do, as lately, wisdom is making a comeback in America. Speaking of, were you not honored by the reaction of the world's athletes from every corner of the globe and how they loved our country so openly. You pat my shoulder, I'll pat yours, Well done America! Anyway, I digress. Now, if you have a lot to say and a Blog to say it in, it must follow blog etiquette and keep it short, much like pop songs on forty five records had to edit songs down to three O five.  

  So what's the spot on point you might ask? I respectfully ask that you find a semi quiet place for about ten minutes and read from the Bible, book of Job, chapter 28. Even if you consider yourself an atheist, read it, if you think of the Bible as a book of myths, read it, and please, all you fence sitters out there, you agnostics yet to make a decision on the point, read it! Whatever your reason for denying the reality of God, if you're right and there is no God, what do you have to fear? Nothing is the answer you look for. In this passage of scripture is the understanding of wisdom, and in it, is the wisdom of God on display. 

  Does the very thought of reading one short chapter of scripture scare you in some way? Good, read it, for if you do read it you're half way there. If you can't wrap your head around power and glory coming from words only, or, is your fear because you have enough insight to know that the words of God will probe deeply into who you really are? Be honest: Do you think you a strong enough person to come face to face with the Wisdom of God? Then by all means my friends, read it. The writing found in the reading of Job the book, and in this verse in particular, the passage shows the wisdom of God, and shows it in the poetry of His language.
