Please read Proverbs 30.
Meditate on verses 3-4.
Neither have I learned wisdom, nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy
One.
Who has ascended into heaven and descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His
fists?
Who has wrapped the waters in His garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name or His Son’s name? Surely you know!
Here is Agur, who
described himself as the stupidest man on earth. Despite being inspired by God
to write down his brilliant observations, he sees himself as not very smart; so
stupid in fact, he is less than a man in his understanding (Proverbs 30:2).
However, he asks some
important questions.
Who has ascended into heaven and descended?
Who can gather the wind in His fists or wrap the
waters in His garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name?
What is His Son’s name? Surely you know!
Maybe
Agur was not so stupid after all.
Well, as a result of your
privileged place in history, you know the answer to Agur’s questions. His name
is Jesus!
Paul asked similar
questions in 1 Corinthians 2:11 and 16:
Who among men knows the thoughts of a man
except the spirit of the man which is in him?
And who has known the mind of the LORD,
that he will instruct Him?
Paul concluded that the
Holy Spirit knows. And, as a Christian, you have the Holy Spirit; therefore,
you know because you have the mind of Christ!
With your New Testament
understanding of the LORD, who has revealed Himself to you through Jesus Christ
by the power of the Holy Spirit, pray with confidence Proverbs 30:3-4 over
yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman
(Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, thank You for giving 
and me
and me
wisdom and knowledge of You, the Holy One.
You have ascended into heaven and descended.
You have gathered the wind in Your fists.
You have wrapped the waters into Your garment.
You have established all the ends of the earth.
It is You, YAHWEH, and Your Son’s name is Jesus!
Surely we know!”
