Proverbs 30:4-5 "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? (5) Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him."
It is as though he has given all these bits of wisdom and now realizes that everything he knows and understands is only the "tip of the iceberg" in comparison to the wisdom of God. He uses the name Agur in verse 1 which means a gatherer or harvester. I could speculate concerning these questions in today's verses as to whether or not Solomon knew the answers. He is confessing that all the wisdom shared by him has God as its origin. There is something about these questions that I believe is most important for us to keep at the forefront of our understanding concerning God. Solomon reminds us of the power of God in that He gathers, or holds, the wind in his hands. He has set the bounds for the waters and has established the earth. There are numerous occasions in the Word of God where we are reminded of the power of God in creation. He created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it. This is repeated over and over and I believe it is for a reason. If we lose sight of God's omnipotent power in creation, then we lose sight of His power to give us help on a daily basis. What is the name of this One Who holds such power? What is His son's name? We praise our Lord that He has revealed this to us.
