DAILY CONTEMPLATION

But to those who quote from the Proverbs the passage, the Lord created me [Prov 8:23],
& think that they hereby produce a strong argument that the Creator & Maker of all things was created,
we must answer that the Only-begotten God was made for us many things.
For He was the Word, and was made flesh; and He was God, and was made man;
and He was without body, and was made a body;
and besides, He was made sin, and a curse,
and a stone, and an axe, and bread,
and a lamb, and a way, and a door, and a rock, and many such things;
not being by nature any of these, but being made these things for our sakes, by way of dispensation.
St. Gregory of Nyssa
