Proverbs 3:19-20 - God's Order Perceived.

Proverbs 3:19-20 (NIV) By wisdom the LORD 
laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he 
set the heavens in place; 20 by his knowledge 
the watery depths were divided, and the clouds 
let drop the dew.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Givenness. God created the world with his 
divine Word and wisdom (February 1), and we are to 
live our daily lives according to his Word and 
wisdom. This is because "the only wisdom by which 
you can handle everyday things in conformity 
with their nature is the wisdom by which they 
were divinely made and ordered." The very same 
divine wisdom that speaks to you in God's Word was 
the basis for the creation of the world. 
   So there is givenness" to things - 
physically, socially, morally, and spiritually - that is 
built into the fabric of creation. As we said 
before (January 7), we can't treat our body any way 
we want without consequences. We can't treat 
people any way we want and expect to have good 
friends and a strong family. We can't live selfish 
lives and expect our social fabric to remain 
intact. And there is also a spiritual order. If we 
try to center our lives on anything but God, it 
leads to fragile identity and psychological 
disorder. It is the essence of wisdom to perceive this 
divine order in life and to align one's life with 
it. 
   In which of these areas might you be 
pushing against the fabric of God's ordered 
creation? 
   Father, when I'm tempted to do something 
wrong, I still tell myself that basically I can get 
away with it. But no one ever, finally, gets away 
with sin. It will find us out. Burn this truth 
into my heart that I might not sin against you. 
Amen. [Gods Wisdom for Navigating Life by 
Timothy Keller with Kathy Keller]
