DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 23; Job 27-28; Matt. 12:22-50

The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.    Proverbs 8:22-23

The attributes that are given to wisdom in these verses are surely the attributes of our Lord Jesus Christ! It is He alone who worked with God in creating this world and placing humanity upon it. He was and is always God’s delight, doing only what pleases God. Those who hear and follow His ways will be blessed and wise and will have eternal life.    —G. Frear

Eternal wisdom! Thee we praise,
Thee the creation sings,
With Thy loved name, rocks, hills, and seas,
And heaven’s high palace rings.
­—Isaac Watts
