30 Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman;
And I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him,
31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And my delight was with the sons of men.—Proverbs 8:30-31
Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.—Genesis 1:31
Genesis 1:31 tells us that God rejoiced over His creation and here in Proverbs 8 we see that “wisdom” was rejoicing with Him, especially in the creation of mankind. Why? Because man was made in the image of God and could, therefore, appreciate not only the intricate beauty of the physical creation but also the eternal wisdom used in the creative process.
It is so helpful for me REMEMBER when I gaze upon the utter awesomeness of God’s creation that all of it was done in the greatness of His wisdom.
Beloved, God is the same....yesterday, today and forever. He wants to use this said same wisdom to work His beautifully wise and perfect will in the lives of each of His children. Why then, knowing this, do I resist His will? The very One who spoke the world into existence and holds all things together by the word of His power wants to work His perfect will in me! Praying that I would put aside my own prideful idiocy in thinking I know best and submit to Him and allow Him to accomplish His purposes in me for His glory.
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.—Jude 24, 25
