In an earlier post, I mentioned that the first 17 books of the Bible gave the history of civilization through various authors.
There is also a different set of books in the Old Testament (OT) that are called, "The Poetic Books". These books include: Job, Psalms, Proverrbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon.
The poetical books do not address the history of mankind, but instead they relate life's experiences in matters of the human heart. These books explore such things as suffering, life, love, wisdom, and most importantly, a glimpse into who God is. These books link the history of our past with the prophetic books that were to come in the future.
These books are the most read in the OT. Personally, I find a lot of peace and comfort within these books! I pray that you do also, as we continue our journey through the Bible.
