Foundation of life

Before creating nature, God used His wisdom to engineer all things and beings. His wisdom made all the complexity of the world work harmoniously as a system. Wisdom is shown in nature and human architecture. His wisdom is what God is offering to you. You don’t deserve it, but He is willing to share it with you. You just need to be humble enough to receive it and follow its lead. God’s wisdom will show its fruits in you, and you will be able to enjoy it in your present life and forever.

“God sovereignly made me—the first, the basic—

   before he did anything else.

I was brought into being a long time ago,

   well before Earth got its start.

I arrived on the scene before Ocean,

   yes, even before Springs and Rivers and Lakes.

Before Mountains were sculpted and Hills took shape,

   I was already there, newborn;

Long before God stretched out Earth’s Horizons,

   and tended to the minute details of Soil and Weather,

And set Sky firmly in place,

   I was there.

When he mapped and gave borders to wild Ocean,

   built the vast vault of Heaven,

   and installed the fountains that fed Ocean,

When he drew a boundary for Sea,

   posted a sign that said no trespassing,

And then staked out Earth’s Foundations,

   I was right there with him, making sure everything fit.

Day after day I was there, with my joyful applause,

   always enjoying his company,

Delighted with the world of things and creatures,

   happily celebrating the human family.

(Prov.8:22-31 MSG).

 
Prayer: You are the Almighty, All Knowing, Omnipresent God. Your love reaches everybody. I feel privileged to know You, to have a relationship with You. Offering Your wisdom to me is something I should never reject. Without deserving it You made me a focus of Your love and kindness. I am eternally grateful.
