Wisdom First

Proverbs 8:22 (New Living Translation)

The Lord formed me (wisdom) from the beginning,
before he created anything else.

Proverbs 8 is about wisdom. This verse tells us that God created wisdom before creating anything else. I don’t know that I can understand that statement. Before the universe, there was wisdom. Wisdom has always existed.

No, I don’t understand what that means. This is a short, simple statement buried in an obscure proverb and it stumps me. Just goes to show that there is much about God and God’s plans for me that are far beyond me.
