Compare all

17 ^aHer ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.

18 She is ^aa tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who¹ retain her.

19 ^aThe Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens;

20 By His knowledge the depths were ^abroken up,
And clouds drop down the dew.

21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes—
Keep sound wisdom and discretion;

22 So they will be life to your soul
And grace to your neck.

23 ^aThen you will walk safely in your way,
And your foot will not stumble.

24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

25 ^aDo not be afraid of sudden terror,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;

Proverbs 3:19-23 Excerpted from Revelation 2-3 and Works

Keep this principle in mind, because as that series of Proverbs unfolds, it establishes something that is important to our life in the first couple of verses, and that is, faith in the fact—that having proof and evidence—that by wisdom the Lord founded the earth. That is intended by God to be something against which we bounce off something that is even more important, and that is if God founded the earth by wisdom, and the evidence is everywhere that there is wonderful design in everything that He did, then His word is equally wisely put together. That the same mind that founded the earth also founded His Word.
