They toughen our faith in the face of the world's ugly realities. And they reveal the complexities of humans in relation to God. Jonah ran from his divine commission. Habakkuk questioned God concerning his ways. Repenting under Jonah's message, the city of Ninevah...

In every line of God's Word, there are volumes of wisdom and knowledge waiting to be revealed to His people.
I believe that every book of the Bible has alternative meanings locked into them to put our Lord's wisdom into our hearts, while standing in its power timelessly.
