Today I saw a cloud dropping something down and not necessarily obvious rain. I am reminded that Jesus left this earth on a cloud and He has said He will return on a cloud (Mark 13:26). In the book of Job chapter 37 one of Job's friends expounds on the fact that no one can query the hand of our awesome creator God or match Him. In verse 24 he says "Therefore, people revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart?". This leads me on to Proverbs 8 which provides a detailed description of Wisdom, who we are to seek to be "wise in heart". This is one and the same Jesus, who God created as Light, as His first act of creation on earth (Genesis 1:3). "The LORD brought me forth as the first of His works, before his deeds of old; I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be...Then I was constantly at His side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in His presence, rejoicing in His whole world and delighting in mankind. .. blessed are those who keep my ways. Listen to my instructions and be wise... For those who find me find life and receive favour from the LORD ..." (Proverbs 8:22-23; 30-35). Remember, we are assured that all who ask and seek will receive and find (Matthew 7:7-8).
