May 28, 2016: SOAP #2368: Proverbs 7-9; Romans 9

Scripture: Proverbs (NIV) 8:27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, 28 when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, 29 when he gave the sea its boundary… 30 Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, 31 rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.

Observation: The one speaking in the above verses is a personification of wisdom. Truly the Creator of the universe displayed great wisdom in creation! In verse 30 wisdom is said to have delighted day after day. I was reminded of Genesis 1 in which 6 times it is recorded that God said, “It is good” at the end of each day. And on the sixth day after creating man He said, “It was very good.”

Application: When I stand before God on judgment day, I want to hear Him say, “Well done.” When He looks back at our walk together through life, may His wisdom cause Him to respond, “It has been ‘very good!’”

Prayer:   Holy Spirit, I need your wisdom and help so that my life will bring my Heavenly Father delight each day. Amen
