• Wisdom was present, worshipping and praising God in His creation. God gave wisdom birth as an extension of God’s attributes.

 
 
 

• The Lord brought forth wisdom. When was wisdom brought about? Before God brought anything else into existence, wisdom was there.  8:23-29

 
 

• Wisdom was not simply sitting in a corner watching the creation unfold. Wisdom was delighting in all that God was doing. Wisdom was “filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in His presence.”

 
 

• Solomon is teaching us and urging us to trust in God’s wisdom in our lives.
   

 

• There is no possible way for you and me to live wisely if we do not live “in Jesus.” Jesus is the Wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:20-25
