The praise of wisdom does mean that anyone who has it mut not forget that it is the Lord's gift that any one may have. The world that I live in is full of technological marvels. I am using one right now. All of these marvels seemingly made by man are in fact nothing compared to the Creation in which they are found. Everything known to man and built by him is built on knowledge of creation and not a creation out of nothing.

Famous scientists and engineers were not born  with the understanding that they use to develop ideas and techniques to manipulate matter. All human knowledge is an accumultion of the thinking and experience of our forefathers.

Jesus is different in his humanity than any other. For he knows that the real purpose of the creation that is so manipulated today is to return the love with which it was created for he is the Word who is in the beginning. We can admire the works of man and their deeds but we must not venerate their work more than God. Preventing birth or changing sex is a marvel but  one that leads to sinfulness that is in opposition to love. Understanding the make up of creatures we cannot even see is beyond wonderment but we can go too far and in our arrogance damage the very matteer of life. 

The mistakes made by man in his politcal development will be as nothing if Wisdom does not stop the meddling of manknd with God's creation. God asks us to hold back willingly for "anyone who exhalts himself will be humbled and anyone who humbles himself will be exhalted."

Dear Lord how your creation has been built is a sources of wonder to all who look at the night sky. We can know it but not use that knowledge for illicit purposes. Dear Lord protect all of us from the natural and unatural viruses that are capable of destroting all human life and guard us against the sinful arrogance that ignores Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You are the only God.
