The contemplation of the week: Psalm 90: 1-17
Text: Proverbs 8: 22-36
Theme of the Word: God’s wisdom that allows us to see from the beginning to the eternal world

When King Solomon offered a thousand sacrifices to God at once, he asked for

only one thing “wisdom” when  God him what he wanted(1 Kings 3: 5-15). Thus Solomon was able to bear witness with wisdom and understanding in the Holy Spirit of Jesus that  had been from before the foundation of the world as well as of  the beginning.

He saw that Jesus was with God the Father from the beginning, and before the earth

  was made. When Heavenly Father provided the heavens, and when he set up the clouds of comfort, and set all the foundations of the earth, Solomon testified as he had seen in detail the work of God ‘s only begotten Son with the Father.

The prophet Isaiah witnessed what the Spirit of God is:

” And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

2And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;” Isaiah 11: 1-2)

That’s right! The Spirit in Jesus Christ, the God who appeared to the world as the

son of David, son of Jesse, has various powers, including wisdom and understanding. Therefore, those who believe in Him will receive wisdom and understanding first. At the same time, all things in the Word of God written by the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, from eternity, from the beginning, before the creation of the earth, to the eternal world, can be seen in the Holy Spirit and realized by the spirit of understanding.

Moses, the prophet who received the Spirit of God, witnessed

of the beginning that God created the heavens and the earth. He also witnessed in the Holy Spirit the scene that God creating light for the earth in empty and in darkness, and creating all things in the earth, as if he had been at the place. In addition, on the sixth day, he testified of the creation of man by the Father, the Holy Ghost and begotten Son of God as he really saw it.

 ” And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. “(Genesis 1: 26-27).

In addition, he also testified as he saw that God spoke unto Noah, and he made the ark for 120 years as God asked him, and God judged the world with the flood according to his word only saving Noah and his family member of eight persons.(Genesis 7: 1-8: 22),

He also testified that his father Abraham was called from God, and as he watched all the things that happened to him as he lived in the land of Canaan. As well, when he was ninety-nine years old, God appeared to him with two angels, and that the next year Isaac, the son of promise, would be born (Genesis 12: 1-18: 15).

God spoke to him to judge Sodom and Gomorrah by the  two angels by fire, and hearing Abraham’s prayer, and saving his nephew Lot, and having made Sodom and Gomorrah  sending the  rain of brimstone making them  ashes in one day, (Genesis 18: 16-19: 38)

God also sent an angel to stop Abraham when he tried to kill Isaac by obeying his command to give his only son  Isaac a burnt offering.  Moses testified of the prophesy of the Only Begotten Son of God to come as Isaac to be burnt offering for the sin of the world.

 In addition, he testified what God has shown through Joseph of the Lord Jesus Christ in all the suffering, perseverance, and tribulation that he had endured and died  as the Savior of the world, and to come to his people and the children of God as the King of the world. (Genesis 37: 1-48: 22),

Through wisdom and understanding in the Holy Spirit, Moses prophesied and witnessed what was happening from eternity, from the beginning and before the foundation of the world. But through the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of understanding and wisdom that

dwells in us, when we read and hear the Word of God, which had been recorded through prophets and apostles, including Moses, we also see what has happened from eternity to eternity.

The Apostle John testified of Jesus Christ who was with God from the beginning through the same Holy Spirit:

” In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2The same was in the beginning with God.

3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.…. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

2(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

3That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

4And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. “(John 1: 1-4, John 1: 1-4)

Apostle Paul also testified of God’s wisdom:

”  But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10But God hath revealed them unto us

 by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. “(1 Corinthians 2: 9 -12)

But unless we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ with all our heart to receive the Holy Spirit, you cannot believe any word of God, including Genesis 1: 1. Man that  is brainwashed in worldly education  believes only what is visible and cannot believe a verse of God’s invisible Word. Apostle Paul testified that this kind of man is natural man . In other word, he is born biologically once from mother‘s womb:

” But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.“ (1 Corinthians 2:14)

That’s right! According to Apostle Paul’s testimony, those who have received the Spirit of God, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, are already have the mind of Christ. Therefore, they can  understand all the words of God that the Holy Spirit has recorded, though they cannot see it by the eyes, but they can live a life of faith by preaching spiritually and faithfully.

Amen! Hallelujah!
