Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding

DAILY PROVERB:

Proverbs 3:16-20
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

OUTLOOK ON THE IN BOOK:

        If Solomon has been trying to teach us anything in the Book of Proverbs, it’s the importance of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. The Lord Himself employed wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in His creation of the world. God’s careful design of the waters and land, with precisely measured proportions, demonstrates how God, with His infinite wisdom, fully comprehended what He was creating for all time. Had we had larger oceans and less land on this planet, it would result in a more humid, rainy, and damp environment all the time. Conversely, more land and less water could lead to increased droughts. We have just the right balance to sustain ecological cycles. Without water, we would all perish, as we need it for our survival. Considering the projected population growth over the next 100 years, how much water will we require then? The answer: Just as much as we have now. The Lord had all these aspects meticulously planned before creating it.

     Without water, God could have never restarted the Earth’s population with Noah and his family. Without water, God could have never displayed a rainbow in the sky as a reminder to us and Himself that a global flood will never happen again.

     God placed each star in its place, and the planets in their orbits, and have been maintaining their balance throughout all these years. Isn’t it astonishing that none of the planets has ever broken out of orbit and departed? They likely won’t. Do you know why? God placed them there with a purpose. God is now, always has been, and forever will be in complete control.    

 

THE WORD WALKING IN ME:

   If God used wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to design, create, and control all that we cherish today, shouldn’t we also seek His wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to guide our lives? How wonderful it is that the God who fashioned the universe also created you and me and shares His wisdom, understanding, and knowledge with us through His Word.

What part of Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding
