Wisdom is the application of knowledge in order to accomplish one’s goals or purposes, and God brings forth his wisdom as he applies his omnipotence to the task of creating the world. The point of the passage is that if God used wisdom to create the world, then success in all our endeavors is greatly enhanced if we also choose wisdom and live according to God’s order. The NT authors see Jesus as the embodiment of God’s wisdom both in terms of who he is, and in terms of his ministry in successfully accomplishing God’s redemptive purpose.
