Meet Lady Wisdom

I draw your attention to the words of Lady Wisdom.  

Lady Wisdom speaks to all who will listen.  She has many things to say to us about why she thinks it is important to know God.   

In the passage today she is establishing her part of the three persons of God:  

22 The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago. 23 Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth.

There are some who want to suggest that Lady  Wisdom is Jesus.  But others — including myself — think that Lady Wisdom is the Holy Spirit.  The one that Jesus left us with to guide us into all truth.  

I think that she is the Holy Spirit, because it was the wind — ruah (Hebrew word for wind) — that swept over the face of the deep in the beginning.  When the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep….(Gen. 1)

It is common knowledge that the Spirit is God's breath. The Greek word for Spirit is pneuma.  Which means wind, breath, life.

Question!  Have you ever given any thought to the possibility that God is still creating in our world today?

Maybe not land or sea, flying birds, or crawling  creatures.  But rather new information, new understanding , new circumstances,  new attitudes?  

Personally, I believe that God's Spirit is quite active in all of those areas of our world today.  And most probably many other areas!

 1 Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice? 2 On the heights, beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; 3 beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out:….. 22 The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago. 23 Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. 24 When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth— 26 when he had not yet made earth and fields, or the world's first bits of soil. 27 When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, 28 when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, 29 when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 30 then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, 31 rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the human race. (Prov. 8:1-4,22-31) 

Tomorrow we will hear more from Lady Wisdom.
