Sliced, Diced and Mashed/It's Just Not in Me

It's Just Not in Me!



But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.                                           
       ... Job 28: 12-14
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
                                                                                                                        ...Job 28:17

Chuck loves using a metal detector every chance he gets.  When diamond rings are lost he is called to try to rescue the precious sentiments.  Looking for jewels, old coins, or just finding old keepsakes, these metal detectors help people who have lost precious belongings. At the time of writing this, our friend has found his way out to Arizona to the wide-open lands. 
Chuck will have stories to tell and adventures too numerous to relate.  A hobby like this could be quite relaxing, camping in the open air beneath the only light around, the stars. 
If our friend were to look for wisdom or understanding while out with his metal detector, it would not be found. Wisdom can not be found in the land of the living, as the scriptures read very clearly.  No matter how far down we were to go beneath the earth, or sea, it would not be retrieved.
The price of wisdom is not known.  Fine gold, crystal and jewels can not equal it.  Where is wisdom found?  Wisdom is found only in the Lord.  Job proclaims those who regard not God, die without wisdom. 
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
...I Corinthians 2:7
With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.    ...Job 12:13

How long have you been searching in all the wrong places?
