From the Heart by B.Demaere

  Are you a god that you should know better than him who created everything from scratch?   Proverbs 8:22 (MSG) “ God has sovereignly made me- the first, the basic- before he did anything else. I was brought into being a long time ago.”   Today, my message is from the Word in Proverbs, and it is clear and to the point.   How many times have you started something without making wisdom, your sister?
