“What insanity!” would be a natural
response. Yet, if we have them around, they fall into place naturally:
Soil before seeds, water before fish, bones to support a body, a path
for the sun to follow and oxygen to fill lungs. They reflect planning
and planning is a result of wisdom.
The story of creation in Scripture reflects
wisdom, understanding and knowledge. The universe unveils a very
carefully designed plan that is controlled, orderly, predictable and
dependable. Nothing is random. Yes, we have “unexpected events” but they
pass and life continues. It may be different from what it once was, but
the “rules” that govern it are still in place and always will be.
Everywhere we look we see God’s wisdom.
And, when you think of it, wisdom existed before creation. This wisdom
in actually “something God is!” It is the wisdom of God that guided
creation. It is the wisdom of God that actively “keeps things together.”
It is the same wisdom that originates in God that will guide us and
guard us and give us peace in life if we agree to live by His rules.
It is almost inconceivable to believe that
the One who created all things, is in all things and sustains all things
would even consider sharing His wisdom with us!
Although His wisdom is available, it is
conditional. If we want it, we must live an obedient, trusting life.
Then, He will open the door to His wisdom and bless us.
Prayer: Lord, how marvelous are Your ways. Open our hearts to see “what can be” if we trust in Your wisdom. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
