The Wisdom of God Part-1

2021 January 17th Streaming

I had notes prepared to teach on Romans 11:11-32 – the grafting of the Gentiles to the roots of Israel. This was intended to be a conclusion to the series titled The Great Lie – Adopted by God. While compiling my notes, I was strongly redirected by the Holy Spirit to put that subject aside and explore the Wisdom of God. My study began with the various Hebrew words for time in Ecclesiastes chapter 3. The study of time in verse 11 inevitably led me to Proverbs chapter 8.

Now, I must confess that the Book of Proverbs had never been anything more to me than an instruction manual for receiving knowledge and wisdom, and Chapter 8 was just another brick in that wall of the same tedious lecturing of Solomon. But on that night, at that moment, the identity of wisdom, beginning with the Godhead before the creation of time unfolded like a documentary. I cannot describe the amazement my mind’s eye was seeing. Proverbs chapter 8 became a mural that was painted by the Wisdom of God.

Our union with the Father through spiritual new birth, the cross, redemption, and spiritual identity before the foundation of the world unfolded as I continued to read. Reading with the mind of the spiritual son, the deep began speaking to deep. I will teach what I have come to understand about wisdom over two weeks. I will lay a foundation this Sunday, and discuss Proverbs chapter 8 next. Keep 1 John 2:13 in mind until we meet together on Sunday – ” I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning”.
