In These Days of Fear and Uncertainty, Where is Wisdom? Job 28

When times are hard, when fears rise, and uncertainty looms large, perspective goes a long way. We need to seek it, obtain it, and maintain it. This perspective goes by many names, perhaps wisdom is one we tend not to associate with it. But wisdom matters. And never more so than in trying times when conditions and circumstances beyond our control sweep over us and change our very lives. But where is wisdom? With all that we can do as humans, all that we can accomplish, we must humbly accept that wisdom is beyond ourselves. But it is there for the getting. The book of Job is wisdom in the form of poetry. Tennyson referred Job as the greatest poem of either the ancient or modern world. It is beautiful wisdom worth repeating.
