The Lord Uses Wisdom (Proverbs 3:19-20)

The Lord is even uses wisdom. I love that the Lord encourages man to do something that He Himself does, or has already done. As I have stated before, being asked to operate in wisdom does no harm to an individual as it has done no harm to the Lord.

"The Lord by skillful and godly Wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding He has established the heavens." Proverbs 3:19, Amplified

By wisdom the earth was founded. This has to be the case. The earth is placed just far enough away from the sun so it does not burn up and just close enough that it does not freeze. The Lord even established the earth to operate as it does before the fall of man. Even before man fell the Lord had all scientific constructs worked out, because He operates in wisdom.

The Lord is never surprised by the events of the earth. Human history has no effect on the Lord, in that there is nothing that has happened, nor that is happening, nor that will happen that is going to catch the Lord off guard. Even the spiritual realms here on earth were established by the Lord. "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him." (Colossians 1:16, NKJV)

If the Lord operates in wisdom, why then should we not. We are created in His image.

"By knowledge the deeps were broken up and the skies distill the dew." Proverbs 3:20, Amplified

This is speaking of the cycle of rain. In the original King James the word used here is "depths". It is the same word as is found in Genesis 1:2, "The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep." This deep was just speaking about the waters that were on the earth, later in the story of creation we find that the dry land comes out of it. But the depths were broken up into rivers. You see, the cycle of the rain works like this: ocean waves break on the shore, they evaporate and become clouds, the clouds become heavy with water and it becomes rain, the water on the earth finds the rivers and the river flow back into the ocean. All this was established before the fall of man. The cycle of precipitation was established even before it rained on the earth. "For the Lord had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground." (Genesis 2:5-6, NKJV)

By wisdom the earth was not destroyed because man decided not to heed the voice of the Lord. Adam and Eve ate from the tree, if God had not been prepared, would the earth had been destroyed? Thank God that we serve a God who operates in wisdom.
