Wisdom in a Crisis

When Shackleton abandoned Endurance, he took the Bible Queen Alexandra had given the expedition and, with a penknife, he carefully sliced out Psalm 23 and a couple of chapters from the Book of Job centering on Chapter 38...

38 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

2 “Who is this who darkens counsel

By words without knowledge?

3 Now [a]prepare yourself like a man;

I will question you, and you shall answer Me.

4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?

Tell Me, if you have understanding.

5 Who determined its measurements?

Surely you know!

Or who stretched the [b]line upon it?

6 To what were its foundations fastened?

Or who laid its cornerstone,

7 When the morning stars sang together,

And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
