Proverbs 8
(S)
Really enjoyed reading today's Proverbs over and over again! It shows me that WISDOM is not just a "thing" we ask for, IT is the LORD himself.
Proverbs 8:27-30
When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
When He established the clouds above,
When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth,
Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman;
And I was daily His delight
Rejoicing always before Him
Wisdom was in the beginning, when the Lord created the heavens and the earth. Wisdom was there when God made men. Wisdom was always there along the way with God. And wisdom is a delight to God. Meaning, as we seek God's wisdom daily (just like how we are reading Proverbs daily), it brings delight to the Lord! He rejoices that His children are seeking His greatest treasure! We are blessed!

Pro 8:10
Receive my instruction, and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choice gold;
The above verse reminds me of the verses in John 21:4-19, where Lord Jesus blessed Peter with goodness (multitude of fish he caught with the instruction of Jesus). And this reminds me that goodness of the Lord comes before redemption, and this was exactly what Lord Jesus did for Peter. And the Lord restored Peter despite Peter failing Him 3 times. And even so, the Lord still loves him so dearly that He called the 2 angels to tell Mary to go tell His disciples and specifically called out to Peter. And later in the fire of coals, the Lord fully restored Peter in front of His disciples. This tells us of the Lord's unfailing love for each and everyone of us. And the verse reminds me once again that we just need to be conscious of the Lord's love for us, meditate on His living words, and let His grace comes through us, and the Lord will bless us with His blessings and goodness, and redemption (silver also symbolising redemption) will follows.
