The Creating Word Becomes Flesh
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Proverbs 8:22-31 The Voice22 The Eternal created me; it happened when His work was beginning,
one of His first acts long ago.
23 Before time He established me,
before the earth saw its first sunrise.
24 I was born before the deep existed,
before any springs poured out their water,
25 Before the mountains were placed on their foundations,
before the hills rolled across the land—
yes, before all this, I was brought forth.
26 When the earth was yet unformed and the fields were not yet nestled beneath the wind—
even before the first dust of the earth—
27 When He created the heavens, I was there.
When He drew a circle in the deep, dividing the oceans and the sky, I was there.
28 I was there when He established the sky.
I was there when the springs in the deep were fortified;
29 I witnessed Him lay down the shore as a boundary
and put limits on the water
And determine the foundations of the earth.
30 All this time I was close beside Him, a master craftsman.
Every day I was His delightful companion,
celebrating every minute in His presence,
31 Elated by the world He was making and all its fine creatures;
I was especially pleased with humanity.
For Reflection
The relationship between Wisdom and God is also about the relationship between God and humanity. These striking passages from Proverbs describe the role of Wisdom in the creation and the infusion of wisdom throughout the created order. Wisdom is the spirit of truth.
Wisdom is especially delighted by human beings. Wisdom is in awe of her companion. She is joyfully delighted with God. PrayIn prayer join Wisdom in her dance of delight. Pray and engage in a joyful search for God’s dynamic presence in the world. Pray so that seeking the divine in the world and in each other might drive out some of the darkness.
