God's First Creation

If I were to ask you what God made first, you might say, "light" based upon the first chapter of Genesis. However, it does not say that. It says that He made everything in the beginning and that He made light before other physical phenomena, but Proverbs 8:22 informs us of a prior creation that is not as tangible or corporeal.

Wisdom speaks and says, "The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old;" (NIV)

God created logic and reason first and then, used that wisdom to fashion a reasonable and rational creation that can be investigated, observed, and celebrated by people He made in His image.

Verse 18 says, "With me are riches and honor."

Everything observable, predictable, and ordered is based upon the genius of God. every principle that works in business, economics, life, science, and human behavior is rooted in His wisdom.

Wisdom is not God; it is the creation of God. To study any discipline of science or philosophy is to study the Mind of God - how He thinks and How He reveals himself.

That is part 1 of Psalm 19, but only part 1. Nature and creation teach us what; part 2, the Word of God, teaches us WHY.

And a WAY without a Y (WHY) is just a WA.

It is not enough to be successful; our lives are only truly fulfilled when they are significant.
