Proverbs 9:1. “Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars.” PILLARS OF WISDOM. Seven pillars of wisdom have been around for a long, long time. It means completion and perfection which from ancient pages shine. All God does is perfect from His wisdom to His ways – And men are made the wiser when they act on what God says.
Genesis 1:31 When God made the world, He said it was very good. Every plant and animal – even mankind was perfect where it stood. No longer is it perfect because man ruined it with sin – But in a future time ahead, God will make “all things new” again.
Psalm 19:7 God’s Word is perfect too, providing guidance for every need. But it only is effective if I to its truth pay heed. The man of God can be made “perfect,” not sinless but mature When he applies the principles of the Word and lives out his new nature.
Deuteronomy 32:4 The works of God are perfect all down through His history. These works apply to all, but in a special way to me – For I have experienced myself God’s reconciliation – And as a result, find great delight in His blessed redemption.
Psalm 18:30; Romans 12:2 It is true God’s ways are not our ways, but His are always perfect. They are best for me and certainly for Him as my wrongs He does correct. His will is good and perfect in every way when we present ourselves to Him – It keeps us from being “world-conformed” and satisfies within.
The seven pillars can be publicly seen when we gather in His name, To do His perfect will and work, and His presence with us claim. We gladly received His Word and after baptism, continue in doctrine and fellowship, Breaking of bread and prayers – then added to the church in partnership.
The wisdom of God can be seen by men when saints own Christ as Lord. The perfections of God and His wisdom can be learned when we read His Word. We don’t run wild in disarray or disorder but as seven pillars hold a roof – The church of God in its wisdom gives to the world God’s living proof.
“There is no doubt heavenly Father the assembly is in a unique position to show the wisdom of God. In every way the “pillar and ground of the truth” has been able to make a clear presentation of divine wisdom. May I never lose sight of the value of the work of which I am a part. So much around us is based on the wisdom and convenience of men. I thank Thee for calling me to this place. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
