God’s wisdom cannot be compared with material treasures such as sapphires, gold, and rubies, and it is difficult to discover. Yet the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. When we face difficulties and feel helpless, where should we turn to seek wisdom?

- Identity - Job cannot find an explanation for his suffering other than sin, yet he knows that he has not sinned. Caught in this painful dilemma, Job questions God’s justice. However, he must face the reality that in this world, the wicked do not always suffer, and believers may sometimes face greater hardships than unbelievers. What warnings and lessons should I take from this reality?
