Which Came First, The Chicken, Or The Egg?
April 9, 2024

DAILY PROVERB:

Proverbs 8:29-31
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

 

OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

        Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This is an age-old debate for people who do not take the Bible literally. The answer is simple. God created animals, not embryos. Therefore, the chicken was created, and she delivered the egg

 

      Now let’s ask this question. One of our verses today says that God and wisdom were brought up together. Just like old friends or neighbors. So, which do you believe was around first, wisdom to guide God, or God to guide wisdom?

 

      If God were first with no wisdom, He would not have known to create wisdom. If there was no wisdom, how could even God know to make everything which ever was? Wisdom had to be around to help in the process of thinking up all the stuff God designed, which we take for granted. However, if God were not there, what need would there ever be for wisdom?

 

      OK, so it’s another trick question, like the chicken and egg question. The answer is God has always been. He had no beginning for anything to be before Him. So therefore, if wisdom and God were brought up together, this would mean wisdom always was and was always with God. God, therefore, has always had all wisdom.

 

    If this is true, and it is, why would anyone try to outsmart God? Why do people want to make another way of salvation, aside from what God, with all wisdom, has already laid out? Now, those are questions without any really good answers!

 

THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

     We need to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding, recognizing that even the little bit of wisdom we possess also comes from God!

 

Have you ever considered how much love
God must have for you and I,
that with all of His wisdom
He still chose to save us from our sin?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and todays Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
