I came across this scripture last night and it reminded me of the surroundings that my Grandfather and family worked/work in. I imagine how dark it must be to work underground, away from all living things, yet he says there are treasures there. This lets me know that light can shine through darkness, joy can come through pain and love can overpower hate!! With God there can always be new beginnings!!
Job 28:3-11
3 Miners bring lights and search deep into the mines for ore in thick darkness.
4 Miners dig a tunnel far from where people live, where no one has ever walked; they work far from people, swinging and swaying from ropes,
5 Food grows on top of the earth, but below ground things are changed as if by fire.
6 Sapphires are found in rocks, and gold dust is also found there.
7 No hawk knows the path; the falcon has not seen it.
8 Proud animals have not walked there, and no lions cross over it.
9 Miners hit the rocks of flint and dig away at the bottom of the mountains.
10 They cut tunnels through the rock and see all the treasures there.
11 They search for places where rivers begin and bring things hidden out into the light.
