Proverbs 8:25

Mountains — among the most enduring, ancient features of creation — came after wisdom. Wisdom's age and stability surpasses even the mountains.

Memory phrase: Wisdom is older than mountains.

Talk about it: Mountains feel so permanent and old to us. What does it mean that wisdom is even older and more certain than a mountain?

Prayer: God, your wisdom made the mountains — and it was there even before them. Wow! Help me trust wisdom like a mountain.
