TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Morning Manna - August 11, 2025 - Proverbs 8:27-31 - Wisdom at the Foundation of the World

Episode Date: August 11, 2025

In today’s Morning Manna, we explore the powerful testimony of Wisdom’s presence at the very dawn of creation. From the heavens to the deep, from the sea’s boundaries to the foundations of the earth, God built everything with purpose—and Wisdom was there rejoicing in it all. More than a passive observer, Wisdom delighted in humanity, reminding us that we are part of God's grand design. This passage invites us to pursue wisdom not just as knowledge, but as a sacred alignment with the Creator’s joy-filled intentions. - Teachers:  Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!AmericanReserves.comIt’s the Final Day!

Good morning. Welcome to Morning Manna. We're glad to have you here on this Monday. You probably know, Doc and I are not live in our office or studio today, and neither throughout this week. We are away attending a business conference, and so we have pre-recorded Morning Manna for this week. I hope you understand why. We've tried to do it on the road. It's very difficult. There's a lot of pressure and the, you know, just the setting for lighting and everything is just not good. So from now on, when we travel, we will pre-record the morning manna lessons. And it'll make it easier and better for everybody. So this entire week, we will be out of the office, okay?

So we are beginning today's lesson. We're still in chapter 8. and we are looking at verses 27 through 31. Let's pray. Almighty God, thank you for this beautiful, wonderful day. Thank you for this new week. Father, we are here, your brothers, your sons and daughters. We are brothers and sisters with each other.

We're in one accord. We're here as disciples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We're here to be taught. by your spirit the principles of wisdom and understanding and discernment so we invite the holy spirit to lead us in this class in the name of jesus amen amen and welcome the morning manna today we're so privileged to have you here morning manna is the ministry of faith and values and we generally get together about three or 400 people every weekday morning to study the word of god and we are so privileged to have you here with us today. As Rick mentioned, we are continuing our study in

Proverbs chapter 8. Today we're going to pick back up today at verse 27. So if you've got your Bibles, turn with me please to Proverbs 8. I'm going to be reading from the King James this morning and beginning at verse 27. And it says, when he prepared the heavens, I was there. When he set a compass upon the face of the depth, when he established the clouds above, when he strength, the fountains of the deep. When he gave to the sea his decree that the water should not pass his commandment when he appointed the foundations of the earth, then I was by him, as one brought up with him, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him. In verse 31, rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights were with the sons of men. God bless the reading

of his word today amen these scriptures are beautiful and i get excited reading them hearing them read because i think of the majesty the glory of our heavenly father the creator of the universe the giver of all life and wisdom says when he meaning god when almighty god prepared the heavens wisdom says i was there when when he set a compass upon the face of the depth i was there there at the beginning wisdom saw the entire universe created laid out watched the entire construction progress process from beginning to end a project that was completed in six days so we begin with when he prepared the heavens i was there as i said this this refers to uh to almighty god it's talking about

god's deliberate intentional purposeful act of creating the celestial realm the universe what we call reality the stars the sun the moon all the wonders of the sky i was there says wisdom a profound active declaration of wisdom's direct participation and presence and observation in this monumental creative act of almighty god yes what we humans can't understand is what was there before the universe wisdom watched god create the universe but what existed before the universe Right. Obviously, there was a celestial city, heaven. There were angelic beings, but they were created at some point.

How far back can you go to find the beginning? There is no beginning. There's only God. and that's when our little human mortal brains lock up absolutely how can there be somebody that didn't have a beginning how do you explain it you can't if you could he wouldn't be God he has no beginning he has no end

but wisdom was there when Almighty God made this universe that we live in. This is our playground, the universe. He made it for us. Solar systems, planets, asteroids, meteor, stars. It's all made for us. That we would give him glory.

So wisdom is now presenting herself as, she's not a detail. attached passive observer, but wisdom is saying, oh, let me tell you, I was a very active participant in God's creative work. Wisdom's presence ensured that the creation of the universe, of the heavens, was a deliberate act of divine order and beauty and purpose. not a random chaotic event there wasn't a big bang there wasn't uh life didn't come from some chemical soup yes a bunch of goo yeah who made to goo who made the goo if you just take these people the scientists have respect for them but if they tell you that everything came from some goo okay well who made the goo well came from a big bang well who lit the

match all right i'll take your i'll accept your your theory on face value you say there was a big bang okay who struck the match who lit the fuse their theories they can't even their theories of uh they try to explain away god their theories in themselves substantiate that there's a god so there's order wisdom's presence and creation was to ensure order if there's disorder there's a lack of wisdom if there's disorder in your life in your affairs in your family in your finances in your health there's there's a lack of order yes so wisdom always brings about order but that's a stark contrast with with the foolish with the foolish there's chaos there's

unprincipled ways of the world so what we learn here is that order wonder and structure of the universe all of them are a direct glorious expression of God's wisdom right the wisdom that was present from the beginning of all things and by implication here we can say wisdom is the Holy Spirit embodied because Genesis chapter 1 verse 2 says and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters verse 1 of course said in the beginning God created the heavens in the earth but then the spirit of God rooted upon the face of the waters and so we're seeing that reflected here in proverb chapter 8 as well and doc if

wisdom the holy spirit was present at the beginning of the universe then we can safely conclude that the holy spirit wisdom will be present at the end of the universe absolutely why because the conclusion of this universe will be orderly he created it with order and he will end it with order yes It may seem chaotic to the people on earth who are not prepared for it. Right. But I'll assure you that every angel will have instructions. Some will turn out the lights in the stars.

Others will turn out, others will go to the corners of the universe to roll it up like a scroll. And someone is going to light the match. Yes. there will be order there will be order in the in the demolition of the universe it will be done orderly

and there won't be any dust left behind there won't be any mess no ash nothing it just won't exist you can't say the angel is going to sweep the universe clean because the universe

itself's going to disappear that's right again try to wrap your mind around that one he creates a new heaven and a new earth this old one is going to be done away with in order by a plan so wisdom says i was there again a personal not a passive role in the grand design of the cosmos. How many

beings can say, I was there? I saw it. I saw Almighty God create the universe. When he set a compass upon the face of the depth,

I this is a powerful significant metaphor it's it's it's for it's for god establishing a a perfect spear a distinct ordered boundary for the heavens and the earth he set a compass set a circle upon the face of the depth this is not talking about the ocean this is talking about the the unformed chaos

and formless void that existed before the world was given its structure so wisdom had a profound role in establishing order structure boundaries out of this formless um just this blackness this this this how do you describe what was there doc before he created order well someone tried to say that it's chaos but how can chaos be order

It was just created, and the Spirit of God brooded upon it and organized everything together. Like you said earlier, Rick, the wisdom is order. Wisdom is order, and the Holy Spirit is the one that implemented that order on behalf of the Godhead. That's what Genesis tells us. So the compass, think of an art. architect with a compass a designer with a compass the compass the compass symbolizes perfect mathematical order intelligent design intelligent design principles that govern the universe and the movement of the planets and the stars is all done with perfect mathematical order So the principles of science, mathematics, physics, everything that men and women study today, were all set in motion by wisdom at the beginning. they all stem from her

so they're all all these sciences are rooted in in the pre-existent wisdom of God and so this reveals wisdom as the ultimate source of all cosmic law and rational order it proves that the universe is not a chaotic accident that somehow came together but the universe is intricate it's has an orderly

design it's mathematically perfect how do the planets and the stars and the moon how do they how do they stay in their place thousands of years later Okay, so the evolutionists, they'll say, well, the Earth, the universe was created billions of years ago. Okay, let's say you're right, billions. I don't believe that, but let's say you're right. How does all this stay together for billions of years? Actually, that makes it even more stupendous. Yes.

Not that it was set in order, but that it maintained. But it stayed in order. The fact that it stayed in order is mind-boggling. I have never thought about that, Doc. The scientists who say that the universe is billions of years old, their own theory substantiates that there's a God because there has to be something, some intelligent design that keeps the universe in order

for billions of years. All right, so let's, let's go down to verse 28 when he established the clouds above when he strengthened the fountains of the deep we'll begin with the first segment of this when he established the clouds above that refers to god's deliberate purposeful act of creating the atmospheric the atmospheric systems of the earth the clouds the water cycle everything that's in the atmosphere when he established the clouds above think about this atmosphere has been has enveloped the earth for thousands of years god placed it in motion he created it he placed it in motion he gave it its assignment

established this order and it has continued to operate for thousands of years. So what we see here is wisdom's presence and guidance in the creation. That all this, all these things are majestic. They're mind-boggling. So the people. principles of wisdom are the very foundation of the order of the universe the beauty of creation the function of weather patterns and celestial phenomena that govern our world and to me dog it it reinforces the idea that the atmospheric conditions that sustain life are not a result

of random chance but of intelligent wise intentional design yes just a slight variation in the in in the atmosphere like reduced oxygen or increased you know other chemicals you know in If there's just a tweaking of the perfect order, life would not be sustained. That's right. Too much nitrogen, we wouldn't be able to breathe. Too much oxygen, and there'd be more sunlight coming in. We'd be burning up every day we went outside. There's got to be a perfect balance of everything, temperature. And it's amazing how God, in his wisdom, has made the earth and everything in it, self-correcting, if you will.

If there's a volcano that goes off somewhere, there's an adjustment somewhere else in the world. It may take a while, but it always works it out. That's the order that God established at the very beginning. So these verses, Doc, are telling us that everything in our... universe everything on our planet everything was made with purpose with order with intelligent deliberate design it was wisdom okay so you think wait a minute i thought god made everything yes he did wisdom was the project manager there you go i like that god was a general manager and wisdom's a project manager. God's the architect, God's the designer. And then he gave, he handed off the

wisdom and says, here, this is, here's the blueprint. This is how I, this is how I envision it's going to happen. When he strengthened the fountains of the deep, this, this refers to when God established the subterranean waters the underground rivers and springs the the vast amount of water that's beneath the surface of the earth even to this day yes yes even to this day yeah there are rivers flowing around the world You know, I've heard people talk about discoveries of vast pools of water beneath deserts. Yes. The people on the surface are in a desert and below their feet is an ocean.

And all they've got to do is tap into that water and they're no longer in a desert. So wisdom was present. Wisdom was there to guide the creation of the Earth's hidden water systems. God knows where water is at in this planet. He knows where it's at on the planet, but he knows where it's at in this planet. Even if you don't know where it is, he knows. Yes.

He's got secret waters that we don't even know about. Something as simple as drilling a well should not be done without praying. The father knows where the water's at. Hallelujah. He'll save you time and money if you drill where he tells you to drill. He knows where his water is located. And nations that are in trouble, cities that are in trouble, he can guide them if the people would humble themselves and pray and ask him for guidance he would tell them where the water is located near their city or country he's watching it flow through the earth every day every hour he knows where the rivers are located

and i told you about this a couple months ago i remember i was in a cavern and I like to take tours of caverns. I haven't been in one for years, but I usually, when I see one, I like to take a tour. And I was in this particular cavern, and there was not a gigantic waterfall, but there was a noticeable waterfall inside a cavern. And the tour guide said,

you might be wondering, where is this water coming from? Yes, I am. just where is this water coming from he said he pointed to the the rock ceiling he said above us is a massive river wow and he described the length and the width of that river and i'm thinking well i hope these rocks hold up because there's a crack in it down here and there's a waterfall you already got a crack in the ceiling I'm thinking what am I doing in here but the point is

I didn't know that there was a river running beneath that area in the ground going hundreds of miles but God knows he knows where all these rivers and streams are located so what these verses are doing it's it's creating the image

that wisdom's influence extends to every act every part of creation from the clouds to the atmosphere the water beneath the earth wisdom was was part of all of it in creating it And so if wisdom was involved in something that spectacular, don't you think wisdom can solve your problems today? I mean, think about it. Wisdom has been involved in some really big construction projects. The biggest. The biggest that's ever happened. So I think wisdom can solve our problems today.

but we have to ask we have to first seek wisdom then we have to ask we have to desire wisdom and we have to implement it then verse 29 when he gave to the sea his decree that the water should not pass his commandment when he appointed the foundations of the earth any guess doc what this is referring to well i mean i think it's pretty obvious there that he sets the boundaries of of the sea i mean so you ever go out and look at the ocean the ocean just looks like it's just constantly churning you know there's waves crashing there's it's always in motioner and yet there's a limit there's a limit that god has how can that water just doesn't come up here and wash us away because there's a limit he has set a boundary it has a

shoreline that and that just tells you his sovereignty that just and he sets the boundary by wisdom and if wisdom can hold back the oceans rick then what can wisdom solve in your life but doc Vice President Al Gore, Greta Thunberg, all of the radical environmentalists, they've been telling us for years that the oceans are rising and are going to overtake countries and islands. How can that be true? See, that's how we know that their fearmongering is not to be taken seriously because it contradicts the Word of God. for Al Gore to be right that the oceans are rising and nations are going to be flooded. For him to be right, then the Bible must be wrong.

Yes. And this isn't the only passage of scripture that talks about setting boundaries on the oceans and the seas. I mean, there are numerous ones. Job talks about it in the Psalms. It says, thou has set a bound that they. may not pass over. And then, of course, in the New Testament, you have Jesus commanding the wind and the waves. He should be able to command it. He set them in order. That's right. You know, I'll say this. If the oceans rise, then God has decreed it. That's right. And no green

climate package passed by Congress and Parliament and the United Nations, nothing's going to stop it if he decrees it. So the sea is even as powerful as the sea is. The sea is contained by the Word of God. Contained by the boundaries that wisdom has set for it. the ocean would have to receive permission from wisdom to rise higher and flood a nation that's right i want you to think about that if if these predictions of rising oceans are are to be taken seriously

then wisdom i mean the oceans must petition wisdom and ask permission to rise higher people particularly in science I can't accept something like that because you you won't accept the existence of God a creator that there is a being much smarter

much more intelligent than you and he's been in existence before time he created time time was made for us time was made for us made for us to mark our days. God didn't need time. He's timeless. Why would he need time?

If you're timeless, you have no need for time. You have no need for hours and days and weeks and months and years and decades and centuries and millennia. It's all meaningless if you're God and you're timeless. when he appointed the foundations of the earth so now this is referring to god's god's foundational set or excuse me foundational act of establishing a stable underlying structure that gives the earth stability and permanence when he appointed the foundations of the earth. What is the foundation of the earth?

Doc, I mean, we can't see it. The earth is suspended in space, orbiting the sun, rotating as it orbits, and yet it's resting on foundations. Yes. There are invisible foundations beneath the earth. What holds the planet in place? Why is Jupiter in place and Mars and all the other?

Why are they in place and why have they stayed in place for thousands of years? They're resting on a foundation established by God at the beginning. If he's smart enough to build an invisible foundation that can hold a planet as big as Saturn, can he not hold you up in the storm of your life? He'll put a foundation under you. And that's what the book of Proverbs is about. Here's your foundation. Make wisdom your foundation.

It will hold you up. wisdom is holding up planets it can hold you up to get through this life hallelujah glory to god love that i mean take advantage of it it's out there that's good brick that's really good there's a force that's holding up planets and moons and stars man it's available to hold you up hallelujah oh yes amen amen i love it you got to lean into it take advantage of what what god has placed in motion but the devil will tell us you're unstable you're collapsing you're falling you can't stand up straight you can't walk straight that is a lie because it contradicts the word of god wisdom creates order

wisdom creates strength wisdom provides invisible foundations for the things and the people made by God you were made in his likeness and his image therefore there are foundations

beneath your life to stabilize you to hold you up to keep you from falling in life's journey and when you do stumble to get you back up on your feet right away verse 30 then then I was by him as one brought up with him and I was daily in his delight rejoicing always before him this is wisdom speaking then I was by him

as one brought up with him so now you see wisdom describing her personal intimate relationship with God the creator and she's wisdom now describing God as the master craftsman, the master architect, the partner, the companion

throughout the entire creative process, then I was by him. I mean, that suggests direct presence, intimate proximity, active engagement, with God throughout creation as one brought up with him like a an apprentice the master architect the master designer he has an apprentice wisdom wisdom was brought up with him What this describes is, is wisdom's personal relationship with God, a coworker with God who helped design the universe, execute his plan, and put into place all the support mechanisms to keep the universe operating for thousands of years right they've had no glitches in the universe everything has worked perfectly there are no planets

wobbling I mean if there was a wobbling planet it would mean that God plan was imperfect correct so creation was not a solo act but it was the work of intimate fellowship between almighty god and his pre-existent wisdom the wisdom is not separate from god it got created wisdom but god created a force and i believe this doc is the holy spirit spirit that supervised the construction of the universe that did things precisely the way the master architect designed them to be and says and I was his delight I was daily his delight not a one-time delight daily so there's a continuous joy, a pleasure, that wisdom brought to God in every moment of the creation process, daily.

Again, not a one-time event, but a continuous, consistent, unending source of pleasure and happiness and joy for God, the Creator. the human race offer to God, well, folly, foolishness, sin, rebellion. Harley, the pleasure of God's looking for. Yes. But you and I don't have to go down that road. He provided a way for us to get back on the right road.

And wisdom and understanding and discernment and discretion these are the tools he's given us to follow the right path yes and if god himself relied on wisdom how much more us i mean think about that god himself thought of wisdom as a companion how much worse should we think of wisdom as our companion in our day-to-day living rick It's a pretty good question, Doc, because that implies that God deliberately created a teaching lesson for us. He made wisdom. The Holy Spirit, it's His Spirit. But he's saying, look, humans, I'm showing you something.

I created wisdom to work with me in the creation of the universe. And I'm giving wisdom to you abundantly. I'm making her available to you. She stands in your streets. She stands in your crossroads, your intersections, at the gates, at the doorways. And she cries out, I'm available if you like some wisdom. he's saying i used wisdom to make the universe and i have made wisdom available to make your world

you're made in my image you're made in my likeness you can speak things into existence with your mouth using faith you can get your life in alignment with my will for your life and when your life is in alignment with my will you can speak as a creator of your own life and my wisdom my spirit will bring these things about amen wow did you grasp what i just said that's good when you and i get our lips and our brain and our heart in alignment with God's will for our life. We can then imitate him. He gives you the desires of your heart.

He will place into you the desires he wishes you to create. And then he says, now use your mouth and speak into existence the desires of your heart. And I've made wisdom available to you to be. your co-creator with you to bring this all about and bring it into existence with order. Amen. Wow. I'm like, I've got to go and just start building. Get your life in alignment with God.

See, there's the beginning. Get your life in alignment with God. Get your mouth in alignment with God. If your lips are flapping and saying things that are contrary, to the word of God, stop it. Stop it. Get your lips flapping in the right direction.

When you say something that is absolutely contrary through the word of God, just stop right away and say, God, forgive me for it I just said. I cancel those words. I will speak these words in alignment with your will. you don't say well i went to church sunday and i i went up front and got prayer i stood in the line i got prayer and you know i i thought i was healed on sunday but it's thursday and i've been

thinking about it and i've had a couple pains and i'm not sure if i'm healed today you just invited the sickness back into your body. You just invited it to come back in your body. When you pray and you speak something that's in alignment with God's will, you stand on it.

It doesn't matter what the physical world looks like around you. You stand on the Word of God until the physical world around you changes to conform to what you're speaking from the Word of God. wisdom is there to make it happen yes and there's a will that god wants to see done here on earth otherwise when jesus gave the instruction the lord's prayer

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven that means that there's things being done on earth that aren't god's will oh most of what's going on is not his will and But we have the ability to come into alignment with the will of God. That's the key. That's really at the heart of wisdom, isn't it? Getting into what God is doing. And what God desires to do in your life, he says, let's say it like this. Lord, may your will for my life be done on earth as your will.

will for my life is done in heaven that puts a different perspective on it doesn't it it does because his will for your life is done in heaven it's down here on earth that we have a problem we've got to pray that his will for your life in heaven is done on earth and it will be done by wisdom you lining up your thoughts your words your heart with the will of God as it is in heaven and then wisdom goes into action to build wisdom's a builder a designer wisdom gets things done so a life a life lived in accordance with wisdom with wisdom is a source of delight and pleasure to God in heaven. Amen. Because it mirrors the pleasure he found in creation. Remember, he's a creator. He didn't stop being a creator. He loves to create.

He paints sunrises and sunsets every day. He's creating all the time. And because he works through people now, his creation has done primarily through humans. And what the world is doing is putting up resistance to humans allowing God to be a creator. Isn't that the truth? Isn't it? I'm a writer. I'm a writer. You know how much I love to write, but I've spent too many years in my life not writing.

Two things, a writer and a teacher. I spent too many years in my life not writing and not teaching. And that's why I shut down true news. Because the Lord was speaking to me saying, you're running out of days to put into practice what I've given you as giftings. And I realize, hey, I'm not going to live forever on this planet. My desire is to write and to teach. And what's getting in my way?

News. And I know I upset a lot of people. I disappoint a lot of people. I still get emails. Would you think about coming back and starting true news again? Can you just do 30 minutes? No. No, no, no, no.

No. I did 26 years. of it. I don't want to do any more of it. I would be delighted if God gave me 26 years to write and teach. I'd be in my late 90s. I mean, you think about it, Rick. So over 20 years, that's at least 200 episodes of True News a year. That's over 26 years. That's over 5,000 episodes what do you think you haven't said about news that's the way like i'm just saying the same i'm repeating myself but here i can spend time teaching the word of god and it's getting inside people and it's changing their lives and it's new every day and it's changing my life

so god's a creator and he desires to create through you maybe you write songs maybe you play music he desires to create songs through you maybe you're a designer maybe you're an architect what is it that's in you that you never developed yes i like i'd like administration and that's a gift in the new testament administration, gifts of administration. And you would think, well, what is that all? That's someone who sets things in order. Yes.

That's what an administrator is. They set things in order. And that's, you know, you can't do that without the Holy Spirit anyway. So, well, it's God. This is a great lesson here, Rick. I remember how one time years ago, and I don't remember the man. I don't know if he's still with his. This is a long time ago.

And I was having a conversation. with him. He was a follower of True News, and I was having a phone conversation with him, and he said, you know, Rick, he said, what I really wish I were doing right now was playing the violin in an orchestra. But I'm not, I'm managing my father's corporation. and there was such sadness in his voice he followed his father into the company and you know

learned the whole company was now the CEO managing the company to please his father his earthly father and he was probably successful at it too he was he was a very successful company but he did it to please his earthly father not to please himself he didn't want to want to disappoint his earthly father. So he did something with his life that was not what he was supposed to do. But God blessed him anyhow. But God made him a creator of music. And what he dreamed about every day was playing in an orchestra. Instead, he was walking the assembly line in the factory he was listening to the humming the singing of the machines instead of the beautiful music of the orchestra god makes us he gives us things to create it can be something it could be you could be a chef

maybe your gift is you love to create awesome meals that's a gift you don't just slap together a bowl potatoes and put it on no you create a masterpiece that's when you know it's a gift you create masterpieces there's a there's an italian restaurant a couple doors from us and the owner is an Italian immigrant and he's a delightful man to talk to oh he is so much fun to talk to I met him out in the alley this morning yes and about a month ago I went over there one day for lunch and I ordered a salad and I I forgot to tell the waitress oh this is to go please put this in a box to go. So they brought my salad out on a plate and it was beautiful. And I said, oh, I'm sorry. This is to go. I have to take it back to the office. And she handed it to the owner, the Italian restaurant owner. And he is, you want this to go? I said, yeah, just throw it in a box. He goes, no. What do you mean no? He goes, I am not going to throw it in a box. I said, just put it in a

Star foam container. He goes, no, Rick, I'm not going to do it. I said, I paid for it. I've got to go. I've got work to do. Just put it in a star foam container and put a lid on it and I'll go. And he goes, no, I'm not going to do that, Rick. And I said, why aren't you going to do it? And he said, I made a beautiful salad for you. And I am not going to turn it upside down in a box. I said, and I'm more small. at each other. I said, well, I'm not going to stay here to eat it. I got to take it to go. Stop doing this to me. He said, here. He handed me the plate. He handed the plate to me. I said, I just told you, I got it. I have to go. He said, take the plate with you. I said, you want me to walk down the sidewalk carrying this plate? Yes. And here's the silverware. He put the silverware on it too. He put everything. He says, here, take it. He said, bring the plate back. whenever you have time. I am not going to mess up this salad.

I said, you are one crazy man. I said, you are one crazy man. He goes, no, he goes, I made a beautiful salad for you. Okay, see, that's his creation. That's what God desires each of us to do. Whatever it is, do it unto the Lord. Create for him. wisdom is there to create with you

you I'm guarantee you there are people listening to me right now you've got ideas that are bubbling up inside of you right now things maybe from years ago and you're saying that's what I always desire to do then ask wisdom to make it happen ask wisdom to change the course of your life the direction of your life to get in alignment with God's plan for your life.

Ask God to, ask wisdom to, to sever unfruitful, unproductive relationships in your life. People who are keeping you from God's will. Wisdom is a creator because God is a creator. And wisdom's job is to implement the grand architect's designs. Hallelujah. Why?

It brings pleasure to him. Yes, for his good pleasure. It's for his pleasure. And your father watching you struggle through life does not bring him pleasure. He desires you to be an alignment with his will for your life. And he's given you wisdom to bring that alignment into reality. so that your life is in alignment with his divine plan for you before he made you. Whatever your skill is, whatever you're gifting, move into it.

And it brings pleasure to God. It will bring pleasure to you. you will feel fulfilled and happy and God will be he'll have he'll find pleasure in looking at your life and watching you grow and expand and see whatever he's given you will bless other people when you walk in your calling when you walk in the gifting that God has has given to you, whether you're using it or not right now. But when you move into it and you walk in it, other people will be blessed. It's not for you only.

It's for others. Your benefit will be your happiness, your joy, your sense of fulfillment. And there'll be material blessing, of course. But it will come by blessing others. And this is an end rejoicing always before him. So wisdom rejoices before God. Wisdom celebrates before God, exalts alongside God and creation, always continuously, unendingly. Wisdom to this day is rejoicing before the Lord for the creation.

And every human who gets his or her life. in alignment with God's will, is another opportunity for wisdom to rejoice. God, that just, Doc, that just makes me want to, as soon as I end this lesson, just go talk to the Lord about what, what is it that I need to do that brings pleasure to you? Yes, I mean, that's what, the message I'm getting today, too, Greg. I desire to bring pleasure to my father. Find out what he's doing and do it with him. Quit fighting him.

Quit doing your own thing. But, Doc, that's his plan. He desires that. He desires that your thing is his thing. Amen. But to become one. There's the problem. There's a disconnect.

We're pursuing things in life that are not his, plan even though he blesses us in those things out of his love out of his kindness but it's not his perfect will he has something better enjoy and wisdom rejoices wisdom's always rejoicing before the lord always happy always finding a reason to to sing and dance before the lord rejoicing All right. The rejoicing is a pure reflection of the inherent goodness of creation, the righteous principles that govern it. So we're taught that a life lived in accordance with wisdom is a life filled with joy and celebration,

because it mirrors wisdom and God, the Creator. Verse 31. Rejoicing in the habitable part of the earth, and my delights were with the sons of men. Rejoicing in this whole world, the habitable parts of the earth. so the theme of rejoicing continues that wisdom has this continuous

joy and celebration and the phrase habitable part of the earth that refers specifically to the parts of the earth that were made for human habitation beautiful ordered life sustaining there are places on the earth you just can't live people try but it's not meant for human habitation wisdom's joy is in the final beautiful outcome of God's creative work

a world ready to be inhabited by the men and women he made in his likeness and image. He keeps going back to God, the Creator. Yes. Worship Him, the Creator. He is the Creator. And he made us in his likeness and image. And he gave us wisdom to bring forth. the attributes, the potential that's in us.

There's so much potential in each one of us that we don't develop, but it's there. It's lying dormant in us. And we reach old age and we haven't tapped into it yet. But wisdom is there to help, to guide, to build, to build. to bring forth attributes that God has placed in each of us that become a blessing to other people and bring pleasure to God. Amen.

And my delights were with the sons of men. So the ultimate object of wisdom's joy is profound delight in the human race. wisdom desires to delight in men and women made in the likeness and image of God. So the ultimate objective of wisdom is not to find joy in the heavens, in the stars, the planets, but in humanity, the souls that were made created by God. that's why creation was made we were not made so that creation could have creatures running around on it creation was made so that humans had a place to run around he gave his feet to walk on an earth so he had to make an earth he had to make an earth he had to make the things for us my delights i mean that's that's personal it's powerful it's a statement of affection

love joy in a relationship now with mankind wisdom has explained her relationship with god the creator now she is proclaiming her relationship with mankind saying humanity is at the focus of my work the focus of my work is not the planets and the stars and the rivers the focus of my work is mankind that's what gives pleasure to god the creator so there's a unique place for humankind in god's creative design we are the crown jewel we are the central purpose of all creation this is why he sent his only begotten son for he so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son for what purpose that whoever would believe on him would be saved why were we lost because we got disconnected from the divine plan

the purpose of sending jesus is to bring us back into connection with the divine plan there was a severance in in the connection between man and and god the creator and the only way to reconnect to reconcile was to send his son his son is not made in his likeness and image his son is god his son it's the same essence we are made in his likeness and image jesus is not the likeness and image of his father he is his only begotten son but the only way for us to be reconnected to the creator was for the son to come to earth and be turned into a human embryo inside the womb of a woman he made.

That's mind-boggling to me. Amen. Jesus Christ was inside the womb of Mary looking around going, hmm, this is interesting. I'm inside a human womb. say oh are you saying that he knew where he was at yes he was god yes he was god an embryo he was god there was never a moment that he wasn't god there was never a moment he was not god in human flesh i don't care how small of an embryo he was he was god

and he came to restore them the the order of creation Like, I don't know if I can find this. There's a verse, let me think. Let me think. It might be Isaiah. Let me find this. Give you a second here. Yes.

Isaiah 51, verse. Take a look at that, Doc. This is a bonus. This is not in the lesson. But I'm throwing this out as a bonus Jim for today. Isaiah 513, for the Lord shall comfort Zion. He will comfort all her waste places. He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the Garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein.

Thanksgiving and the voice of melody. What is this talking about? Restoring order. And he's talking about Isaiah was the prophet to prophesied about the Messiah. Yes. The coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. And verse

once has hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord look unto the rock whence ye are hewn and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged look unto Abraham your father and unto Sarah that bear you for I called him alone and blessed him and increased him for the Lord shall comfort Zion he will comfort all her waste places and he will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the Lord This is a prophecy of the coming of the Messiah. This is not a prophecy about the new earth, new Jerusalem.

This is about when you are born again. When you are born again and you get your life in alignment with His will, he says i will make your waste places your wilderness like eden i will make your deserts like the garden in other words god says when you get your life in order with my son i will turn your personal life into a little miniature garden of eden praise god and how do we do it through wisdom getting our lives in order with god's will okay doc that's it for today all right well rick this is a great lesson today and i hope that everyone that tuned in today is taking a heart to what was said today god is a god of order and

He's been involved in setting up order since the very beginning of creation. And if he can set the world in order, he can certainly set your world in order too.
