the Proverbial Incarnation... if you will

Proverbs 30:4-5
Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has bound the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name, and what is His Son’s name,
If you know?
Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

I don't think it would be a stretch of Scripture to suggest that this passage is a prophetic picture of the incarnation and the vary nature of Jesus Christ. He is the only one who has both descended and ascended from heaven, eternal and uncreated (Ephesians 4:7-10). He was there at creation, took part in the process and His Word holds all things together (Colossians 1:15-17 & Hebrews 1:3). He is the vary image of God and the Son of God wrapped in human flesh (John 1:14). I am particularly drawn to the term "Word" and its personification in the following line.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God in the flesh, has been revealed in so many ways; through creation, through the Word of God (the Holy Scriptures), the Wisdom of life (as revealed through Proverbs), through miracles and family relationships (He is the Son of God, the firstborn among brothers). When we come to understand the vast revelation of the Son and His unique relationship with us through the incarnation, then and only then will we stand secure in this life, able to trust fully in God who loved us enough to identify with us in this journey called life.

Thank You Jesus for taking on flesh, for descending and identifying with our weaknesses that we might identify with Your strength (Heb. 4:14-16). Thank You for revealing Yourself so clearly so that we might know You and trust You in this life. Amen.
