Wisdom, the Bible says, makes our face shine.  Bitterness, on the other hand, causes a harshness of expression.  The latter is the result of living in God's world as if it's one's own.  Bitterness sets in when we fight God rather than repent and follow Him.  Wisdom is the antidote to frustration and bitterness in that it sees God and His Word as ultimate in life rather than oneself.  But this isn't merely a thing for believers over against unbelievers.  On the contrary, a good many Christians reject and ignore the great treasures they have in Christ.  By ignoring prayer and the great implications of the gospel, many of us struggle with our frustrations.  Bitterness is, for the Christian, prayers unprayed!  Instead of taking our struggles to Him, our disappointments, our fears...even our hot anger, we stuff it down.  We suppress it.  Oh, what folly that is.  He cares about us and is there for us to cast our worries and concerns upon.  What a great treasure prayer and worship is!  In this episode we explore the reality of how wisdom makes our face shine and how to develop the right attitude toward reading Scripture as well as how to use it (the Bible) to teach us to pray.
