His Wisdom

O Lord, how many are Thy works!   In wisdom Thou hast made them all.    Psalm 104:24

To understand the full meaning of the word wisdom the following Proverb is helpful:   “By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”   (Proverbs 24:3-4)  

Careful planning is necessary prior to building a house.   Blueprints are created laying out in detail the dimensions of the house, how all aspects of the house will be constructed, a concise list of materials needed for the construction of the house, details regarding the exterior of the house, type of landscaping required and timeframes for completing the various phases of the house and property.   This phase of the project is the wisdom phase:   The ability to see in advance that which will be. 

The next step is the understanding phase:   Establishing the plans that were prepared prior to the construction of the house.   During this phase the foundation, floors, walls, roof and initial landscaping are completed.   The space and container are completed only needing to be filled for the completion of the project.   This leads to the final step which is the knowledge phase:   Filling all the rooms and landscaping areas “with all precious and pleasant riches.”
