59. We can conclude from this that Divinity is present in absolutely everything in the created universe and that the created universe is therefore the work of Jehovah's hands, as it says in the Word. That is, it is a work of divine love and wisdom, for this is what is meant by "Jehovah's hands." Further, even though Divinity is present in all things great and small in the created universe, there is no trace of intrinsic divinity in their own being. While the created universe is not God, it is from God; and since it is from God, his image is in it like the image of a person in a mirror. We do indeed see a person there, but there is still nothing of the person in the mirror.

29. No one can deny that God possesses in Him love and wisdom together in their very essence. For He loves all people out of the love in Him, and He guides all out of the wisdom in Him.

The created universe, too, regarded in terms of its design, is so full of wisdom springing from love that you may declare all its facets in their entirety to be wisdom itself. For it contains incalculable elements so organized sequentially and concurrently that taken together they constitute a single unit. It is for this reason and no other that they can be held together and unceasingly maintained.
