The journey continues, with the emphasis on how Wisdom taught the people of God through the wilderness experience of the exile. They learned that God provided for them, while their enemies learned that he had power to punish and judge. Wisdom was their teacher, as they made their way through the desert. When they slipped up, by worshipping creatures like snakes, God punished them. But his punishment of his own people was light compared to the horrors he unleashed on the Egyptians, the enemies of his chosen race. The righteous never suffered thirst like theirs, writes Solomon.
So all this proves that God loves the world, and his own chosen people. If God did not love the world, it would not still be here, because God in his great power could burn it up in a moment.
If you believe that your God is so powerful, then you believe you are blessed indeed.
