Proverbs 3:19-20
“By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens. By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.”
This passage is from the book of Proverbs, a collection of ancient Israelite wisdom literature, traditionally attributed to King Solomon. It serves as an instruction manual for living a flourishing life, often personifying wisdom as a guide. Here, it speaks of wisdom as an active force in God's creation of the world.
If the natural world is founded and established by a wisdom beyond human understanding, what does that ask of our approach to it?
