But He knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?
Man does not comprehend its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living.
The deep says, 'It is not in me'; the sea says, 'It is not with me.'
It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed in silver.
It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or sapphires.
Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can it be had for jewels of gold.
Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold.
Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?
It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds of the air.
Destruction and Death say, 'Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.'
God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells,
for He views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
When He established the force of the wind and measured out the waters,
when He made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm,
then He looked at wisdom and appraised it; He confirmed it and tested it.
And He said to man, 'The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.'

I'm going to stretch you.
True sorrow is the seed where powerful songs are evolved.
I promise that I will always be with you. Even when you don't feel Me, know that I am near you.
Only when you are stretched, will you become more mature. Only when you are refined in the fire, will you come forth as pure gold.
Help me, Lord. Help me to give thanks in all circumstances.
Praise is a sacrifice. It is not a sacrifice if it doesn't cost me anything.
I know it is gonna be tough, and there would be times where I would fail, but give me strength to get up and continue running after You again.
Keep me close to You, Lord. I need Your presence everyday.
Transition.
