Job 12:13 With Him is Wisdom and Strength

Job 12:13 (KJV)  With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.

 Can a man know God? God reveals Himself to us. That is how we know Him. It reveals Himself to us in nature, His creation. He reveals Himself to us through His prophets in the Old Testament. And in the fullness of time through His Son, Jesus Christ, and the apostles whom Christ raised up to write the New Testament Scriptures. Job is the first book of the Bible, chronologically speaking. Job was a man who knew God. He was one in intimate fellowship with God. He sought God through daily prayers and understood how God is to be approached.

God allows some men to gain wisdom after many years but this wisdom gained often is But for a man this is short-lived for man’s life is cut short in death, a stark contrast with God.

Whereas for God, His wisdom and strength are in Him innately and eternally. He is able to impart His wisdom and strength to each new generation of men. All praise and glory to Him that men should trust in Him from age to age. Amen.
