Re:Verse passage – Proverbs 1:1-7 (day six)
Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! Genesis 1:31
By good, I do not think God meant aesthetically pleasing, although his creation is awe-inspiring. I believe he meant that the way he ordered the universe (and the land) for our flourishing was good. Another way to say it is, God’s order in creation is intended for our good, that we would flourish in every way. As image bearers, we were always meant to walk in this goodness.
When we walk in God’s goodness, it is called wisdom. That’s what King Solomon is after in Proverbs.
