—Proverbs 8:22-31
by: Angie Osborn.
Wisdom was there from the beginning? At first the combination of that thought , mingled with the continued personification of Wisdom in this selection seemed odd. As I re-read the passage, however, it made sense. Of course wisdom was there from the beginning; God is wisdom. God was wise enough to create everything from nothing and put it all in motion. From the beginning of time, he had the wisdom to plan for our salvation through Christ so we could be right with him. The earth and all that is in it relies on God’s wisdom so wisdom had to come first. Isn’t it wonderful that our God is so wise and so loving that he had a plan for us from the beginning of time?
