Proverbs 30:18-19 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, Yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent upon a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maid.” (Proverbs 30:18-19 KJV)

These passages reveal three wondrous and four mysterious phenomena in God's magnificent creation and design, too deep for the limited wisdom of man. One can only surmise to a certain degree. It can't be fully grasped how these works.

The eagle in the sky is a metaphor for hope in times of weariness. “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:30-31 NIV)

The serpent, even though glides on its belly, yet sleek and wily to simply deceive Eve. It is written: “But the snake said to the woman, “You will not die.”(Genesis 3:4 NCV) The result? God, "To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,' “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life"" (Genesis 3:17 NCV).

The ship in the vast waters, though crafted by the hands of men, yet it saved Noah. The ark in the flood, a picture of the promise of the saving grace of Jesus, the ark of salvation (1 Peter 3:18-22) - “... All were destroyed. The only people who survived were Noah and those with him in the boat.”(Genesis 7:23 NLT)

The way of man with his bride the instant love strikes, is the picture of Christ and His bride - the church who rests in His grace by faith. Man in love gives himself up for his maiden as Christ to the church. Man is ordained: “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,” (Ephesians 5:25 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
