Proverbs Day 51
Proverbs 8:22-32:(KJV):
"The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways."
Thought for the day:
The book of Proverbs continues with a poetic description of God's Wisdom and its role in the creation of the world. According to Proverbs 8:31, the most delightful thing God created was man. After God added the animals, He then made the height of His creation -- man in His own image. God desired to have someone He could fellowship with, so He started with Adam and Eve and has continued His creation of man with each birth through the ages. He made you and me. It delights His heart to commune with each of His children daily.
