Wisdom is a skill in living that begins with fearing God, then progresses to guarding your mind, choosing your companions, controlling your body, monitoring your words, pursuing your work, managing your money, and loving your neighbor. Very simple. But that’s it. And when you’ve done that, you’ve learned wisdom. It’s vital to be taught wisdom. For example, as a father, if I fail to teach my son to fear God, the devil will teach him to hate God. If I fail to teach my son to guard his mind, the devil will teach him to have an open mind. If I fail to teach my son to obey his parents, the devil will teach him to rebel and break his parents’ hearts. If I fail to teach my son to select his companions carefully, the devil will choose them for him. If I fail to teach my son to control his body, the devil will gladly teach him to give it completely over to his lusts. If I fail to teach my children to enjoy speech that is honorable to God, the devil will fill their mouths with filth. If I fail to teach my children to pursue their work, the devil will make them lazy. If I fail to teach them to manage their money, the devil will teach them to waste it on riotous living. If I fail to teach them to love their neighbor, the devil will gladly teach them to love only themselves.

Proverbs 4:5 - Acquire Wisdom!
God's Glory on Display
All throughout the Old Testament, God is calling men to realize His glory and to give Him glory. His visible Shekinah glory came in the garden of Eden. His glory came on the face of Moses. His glory came in a tent. His glory came in a temple. And there was one more time that He sent His glory, and this time He sent it in the form of a man, His only Son. And when Jesus Christ came into the world, do you know who He was? He was the glory of God in a body. In John 1:14, it says, “We beheld His glory.” And it says in Luke chapter 9, He pulled back His flesh, and He revealed His glory on the Mount of Transfiguration. He showed that He was none other than the Shekinah, the same glory, the same essential reality of God revealed in light in the Old Testament that dwelled in the temple and the Tabernacle, that shone on the face of Moses, and that walked with man in the garden. The glory was back, and God in Christ was saying, “Will you now give Me glory? And God even cried out, “This is my beloved Son; hear Him; hear Him.” And tragically, man did to Jesus Christ exactly what man had done every other time God sent His glory: they rejected it and turned their backs on Christ. You say, “Is God through with man?” No. God’s going to send His glory again in the future. In Matthew chapter 24, we receive a depiction of this event. God turns out all the lights in the heavens. And now Christ is coming in verse 30: “And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky.” And for the first time in Scripture, this is unveiled glory. This is not partial glory. This is immense visible glory. And listen, when Christ comes in full and final glory, man will have no choice to accept or reject Him. The Bible says that unbelievers will face instant judgment. So that leaves only the present. Where’s the glory of God now? Is it on the face of a man, in the garden somewhere, in a building, or in a tent? Is there no incarnate God here? Where is the glory of God now? Look, between God’s revelations of glory in the past and God’s revelation of glory in the future, God has not left the world without a revelation of His glory. But the only way the world is ever going to see His glory is when you and I live to manifest it. Because we are the manifestation of His glory. We are the temple the world sees. We are the Tabernacle. We are the shining face. We are Christ's presence in the world. And that’s why, since we’ve been bought with a price for that purpose, we must glorify God in our body. That’s why, according to 2 Corinthians 3:18, as we gaze on the glory of the Lord, we are transformed from one level of glory to the next by the Holy Spirit. So, we are the revelation of the glory of God. And the more you focus on Christ, the more you lose yourself in Him and are transformed into His glory. And when you move through the world, you are the Shekinah for this age, and so am I. Why? Because the church is called to represent His glory and to be His glory in the world. And if the world is to see the glory of God, if they are to see the God they are to glorify, they need to see in us God's glory on display. Repent and believe!
