The Weight of God

Solomon, according to the Bible, was the wisest man to ever live apart from Jesus. He understood life in a way that was on a higher level. The kingdom expanded and reached its greatest economic point under Solomon's leadership. He understood life, he saw beyond the facade, he knew how to make it work and how to make it valuable. So, in the book of Proverbs, he shares his wisdom with all of us. Within the Old Testament, the Hebrew word "kabode" is used over 200 times. It literally means heavy and used to refer to the glory of God. When something so incredibly heavy impacts our lives, then there should be dramatic and lasting changes. Solomon says that us being so impacted by Him and His Word that we look and live differently is the essence of wisdom and the fear of God. The way we live demonstrates the glory of God or the "weight" of God. The degree of change in our lives demonstrates the weight of God...The glory of God.
