Timeless Truths of God’s Wisdom
‘Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth.’ Proverbs 8:25
This verse continues to underscore the eternal existence of wisdom, predating the creation of even the most enduring and majestic parts of the earth. Mountains and hills are often symbols of stability and permanence, yet this verse reveals that wisdom existed even before they were formed. This demonstrates that wisdom is more fundamental and enduring than anything we perceive as immovable or timeless in the physical world.
Psalm 90:2 echoes this truth, saying, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." Wisdom is inseparable from God’s eternal nature, and its existence before creation affirms that it is an essential part of God’s character. Wisdom was not an afterthought but was present as God shaped the world, giving creation its order, purpose, and meaning.
This eternal aspect of wisdom connects to Colossians 1:16-17, which says, "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible... and by him all things consist." Christ, as the embodiment of God’s wisdom, is the source and sustainer of all creation. The wisdom described in Proverbs 8 points us to Christ, through whom the world was made and through whom we are reconciled to God.
In practical terms, Proverbs 8:25 reminds us to trust in God’s wisdom as the foundation for our lives. Just as wisdom preceded the mountains and hills, it provides a stability and strength that surpasses even the most unshakable earthly structures. When we face uncertainties or challenges, we can rely on the timeless truths of God’s wisdom, knowing that it has stood the test of eternity. By seeking and applying this wisdom, we align ourselves with the eternal purposes of God, building our lives on a foundation that cannot be moved. This wisdom leads us to Christ, the ultimate source of stability and hope, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
