Topic: The Oldest Workman Of God [Wednesday 20, September 2017]
Memorise: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” – John 1:1
Read: Proverbs 8:22-35
22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

MESSAGE:
The very first indication of God’s work in creation is recorded in the book of Genesis 1. The oldest workman of God would therefore be referring to a person involved in the activities at the beginning of all things (Proverbs 8:22-23).
The oldest worker of God is the person of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Bible says that the Almighty God possessed Jesus in the beginning, before His works of old. This is a mystery. He was with God in the beginning of creation. His excellent knowledge and perfect wisdom is visibly evident everywhere in creation. The Heaven declare His glory, and His perfect creativity is revealed in nature; the beautiful landscape, waterfalls, mountains, valleys, and all the rivers in their places; the beautiful flowers and birds that sing, all the small and great animals of the earth, and the abundant life under the seas; the moon, the stars and the heavenly hosts, the appointed seasons, all these are wonders of His creation. Our Lord Jesus is great in power and excellent in glory, may His Name be praised forever.
Prayer Point: Father, I thank You for a beautiful world, and a magnificent universe.
