Proverbs 8:32-36

³² “And now, O sons, listen to me:
    blessed are those who keep my ways.
³³ Hear instruction and be wise,
    and do not neglect it.
³⁴ Blessed is the one who listens to me,
    watching daily at my gates,
    waiting beside my doors.
³⁵ For whoever finds me finds life
    and obtains favor from the Lord,
³⁶ but he who fails to find me injures himself;
    all who hate me love death.”

And now- in this fallen world- far away from the Garden- she says to us LISTEN TO ME.   Blessed are those that keep my ways.  There was an answer for us, before there was time.  Father God, Our Jesus and Holy Spirit gave us Lady Wisdom to walk with us and beside us, to guide us – before the first molecule was created. Jesus was the answer from the beginning- and Lady Wisdom was to be a companion- a companion that encompassed the wonder of God.

Imagine that the first rock was created in an atmosphere where the fear of the Lord inhabited. The Bible tells us that all things glorify His name:

Habakkuk 2:14 "For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea

Psalm 96:4-9 For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary

Psalm 65:5—13

⁵ By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
    O God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
    and of the farthest seas;
⁶ the one who by his strength established the mountains,
    being girded with might;
⁷ who stills the roaring of the seas,
    the roaring of their waves,
    the tumult of the peoples,
⁸ so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs.
You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.

⁹ You visit the earth and water it;^[a]
    you greatly enrich it;
the river of God is full of water;
    you provide their grain,
    for so you have prepared it.
¹⁰ You water its furrows abundantly,
    settling its ridges,
softening it with showers,
    and blessing its growth.
¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty;
    your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.
¹² The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
    the hills gird themselves with joy,
¹³ the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
    the valleys deck themselves with grain,
    they shout and sing together for joy.

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Psalm 96:11

Psalm 89:11-12

The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours;
    the world and all that is in it, you have founded them.
¹² The north and the south, you have created them;
    Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.

All of creation praises His name, each in their own way—because each thing that He created was created INTO the fear of the Lord.  Wisdom was in the atmosphere as the world and all of its wonders was created. How could the earth not sing for joy in the Lord, as she is part of the very fabric of the atmosphere of creation?

We were created into this very same atmosphere of wonder and awe, reverence and fear of our God- rejoicing in His creations.  This is part of our DNA, it is all we have ever known.

Luke 19:39-40 says that if the disciples were silenced – the rocks would cry out for the Glory of God.

“39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples." 40But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!"

In a dark world, the darkness seeks to quiet our voices through rebuke , chastisement and mockery. Let’s stand with Lady Wisdom and delight in His creations, glorifying His name and the wonders that He presents to us on a daily basis. He has not stopped creating, can we catch the wonder of Lady Wisdom as we see the tulips blooming?   Can we rejoice in His inhabited world as we see the green, spring grass blooming? Can we delight in all of the children of man- even the dirty and broken, as we bend down to breathe wonder back into their hearts?

Lady Wisdom we ask that you would instill in all of us the very essence of your nature- that delights in God and in all of His creations.  We ask for a wonder and delight in His children, a zeal to gather His lost and offer the wonder of creation.
