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!
The Only Solution to Man’s Problem
The apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:31, “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God.” He points out eating and drinking because those are the most mundane, routine, necessary things of life that occupy us, whether we desire them to or not. That’s just the routine of life. And what Paul is saying is that even the most ordinary things in life should be done for God's glory. That's the fundamental principle guiding all our actions, isn't it? So, in whatever you do, glorify God. And since you are redeemed and bought with a price, glorify God. This is the call to Christian living. We are to live to the glory of God. In fact, that’s the key to everything that exists. Because everything God ever made, He made with the purpose of giving Him glory. Everything, then, is to be to the glory of God and to bring praise and honor to God. That’s why creation was brought into existence, and, for the most part, creation cooperates. The stars glorify God. They don’t rebel. There’s never been a rebellion of the stars. They’ve never sinned against their Creator. The Earth itself doesn’t rebel. The flowers don’t rebel; they just do what flowers are supposed to do: send out their wonderful fragrance and their beautiful color. The animal world doesn’t rebel; it doesn’t curse God and deny Him His rightful place. The animal creation and that which is natural in the world do what they were intended to do. It declares the glory of God. And in all of the world of God’s creation, the two highest creatures He ever made were angels and men, and they were the only two that rebelled. They were the only two that had a choice, and they made the choice against God. Angels chose to rebel against God and were forever cast out of heaven, becoming the demons, as we know them, who work for the enemy Satan and will spend eternity in hell. There is no redemption for angels; those who fell have fallen, and it is set that they will forever be wicked. Those angels who did not fall are forever secured in righteousness. So, the story of the angels, as it were, begins and ends with that one moment in eternity past when they fell. But then there is man who fell, and by God’s wonderful grace, God has sought to recover man and bring him back. There’s no salvation for angels, and that’s why Scripture says angels desire to look into the things regarding salvation. That’s why Paul, writing to the Ephesians, says that God is doing things in the church to show His wisdom before the angels. Because the angels do not understand firsthand the meaning of redemption, salvation, or restoration. But God has set out to recover the rebel man, the man who has set his heart against the God who made him. And what is God asking of man? God is asking that man give Him glory, as he was intended to do. It’s just that basic. And that’s the problem. Man, on his own, is neither able nor willing to give God glory. Therefore, unless God supernaturally transforms man to give Him glory, he will ultimately end up in hell. So, what's the only solution to man's problem? A supernatural transformation. Salvation!
