Proverbs 8:29-31 (ESV)
29 when he assigned to the sea its limit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 then I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing before him always,
31 rejoicing in his inhabited world
and delighting in the children of man.
Wisdom watched as God put boundaries on the mighty sea, including the depths of the oceans and all they contain. Like the perfect paintbrush in an artist’s hand, the Lord used Wisdom as his tool when he created everything. Wisdom celebrated while the Lord worked. Beholding God’s handiwork provides us all with reason after reason to rejoice. And Wisdom has a special relationship with humanity: she is the one who brings God’s truths to those who seek her. Our existence depends on the earth, the sun, and even the universe continuing in the pattern that God mapped out. Were any of these complex systems to go awry, we would be brought back to the dust from which we came. Take a few minutes to praise God for all that he has created, giving special thanks for the way he designed you, fearfully and wonderfully made.
