Finding Wisdom, Finding Life
Pro 8:22-36
The world did not come into being by chance. It was created by an intelligent Creator. Nothing is arbitrary or by accident. Law is the expression of the perfect will of God. It is founded on the inherent necessity which is at the heart of all things; and it is according to unchanging law that all things subsist. Yet never forget that God is Redeemer, as well as Creator, and reserves to Himself the right of suffering the infliction of a broken law, that He may step in to redeem those who are penitent and believing.
It would seem as if in Luk 7:35 our Lord appropriated these sublime words as applicable to Himself. How glorious it is that He appropriates Pro 8:31! He does not delight in us after we are redeemed, but before; and it is on this that He bases His appeal: Blessed are they that keep My ways, Pro 8:32. Let us watch daily at His gates, and wait at the posts of His doors. For to find Him is to find eternal life, 1Jn 4:19.
