Appointed From Eternity


“The Lord brought me forth as the first of His works, before His deeds of old; I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning of the world.”  Pvb. 8:22-23

Wisdom is personified in chapter 8 of Proverbs and we read of her in this passage.  Wisdom was the first of God’s works, created before His other works of art.  Wisdom was appointed from eternity.  She was, and remains, the way to a character-filled, wholly satisfying life, on a deep level.

If wisdom is like a tree, then it has many branches.  Among them are:

Prudence

Truth

Justice

Instruction

Knowledge

Discretion

Counsel

Understanding

Power

Righteousness

Pvbs. 3:19 states the Lord founded the earth by wisdom and that He established the heavens by understanding.  Friend, creation was not a random or haphazard event.  It was thought out, intentional, brilliantly designed and intended for our benefit.  Let us seek wisdom and get understanding, so that we may lead our lives according to the way God intended for us.
