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. And the only reason I can pass any of this wisdom on to my children is because God has graciously made it all available in the Bible.

Proverbs 4:5 - Acquire Wisdom!
A Sweet Gift from God
We don't have any New Testament commands regarding worshiping on Sunday, which is the first day of the week. We just have the very obvious fact that God filled Sundays with the most significant events in the founding of the church, namely the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the arrival of the Spirit of God. The events of the resurrection, the birth of the church, the empowerment of the church, the completion of salvation, and the coming of the Holy Spirit—these glorious foundational realities that are at the very heart of our redemption—these are the realities that replaced the shadows and the forms of the Saturday Sabbath. They all happen on a Sunday, and the Lord, then, has picked out His own day. When He appointed twelve apostles, He left the leaders of Israel behind. When our Lord established the first day, He left the seventh-day Sabbath behind. The Mosaic law for the seventh day has passed away. By the way, it's the worst thing possible for people who call themselves Christians to take restrictions intended for the Mosaic Sabbath and try to impose them on Sunday. That's opposite the intention of our Lord. Don't let anybody hold you to a Sabbath day. You're not under the Mosaic law anymore. You're not under the constraints and ceremonies and restrictions and restraints of the Mosaic law. We have a new day. We left Judaism behind. We left the Sabbath behind. We left the leaders of Israel behind. We have a new covenant. We have new ministers of that new covenant, and we have a new day. It's not like the Mosaic Sabbath; not at all. Oh, you can still think of the seventh day, Saturday, as the day that reminds us that the Lord created everything in six days. I think that's a wonderful thing to do. And you can still be reminded that it was the law of God that came down on people's heads with regard to the Sabbath, and it's good to remember that you're a sinner. But there's nothing in the New Testament that takes old covenant restrictions and restraints from the Mosaic Sabbath and imposes them on the first day of the week. Keep in mind that from Genesis 2—where God rested until giving the Mosaic law, hundreds of centuries later—through all that period of time, there were no restraints on anyone's behavior on Saturday. It was just the day that you remembered God as Creator, even though men were sinful. There were no restrictions and no restraints. That didn't even come until Moses. It started with Moses, and it ended with Jesus abolishing the old covenant and establishing and ratifying the new covenant. Therefore, the new covenant Sunday is like the old Sabbath from Genesis, where God blessed the seventh day, the Sabbath day, and made it a day of blessing to remember your Creator. Well, He's blessed the first day and made it a day to remember your Redeemer. Listen, when God instituted a day of rest originally in Genesis, it was a day of rest. But under Moses, it was a day of anything but rest. However, the Lord's Day for us is to be a day of delight. It's to be a day of blessing and salvation rest. So, what's the point of the first day? Every Sunday, the soul is to be refreshed with joy, peace, spiritual delight, divine truth, worship, teaching, and the preaching of the Word of God. Sundays are such a sweet gift from God.
