So many of has sort for wisdom,knowledge and understanding.We have traveled far and near,we have read all book we have ever come across.We have relied on the things we learn from school.We go through secondary/high school,after that we proceeded to university for bachelors degree and because of the quest for extra knowledge we acquire masters,PhD etc.That means the quest to acquire knowledge never really ends,it continuous till one dies.Every wants to be enlightened,its now a competition in the society ,everyone wants more knowledge and wisdom than his neighbor and there is nothing wrong with that.Even in the bible Paul sought for knowledge and he became a lawyer.Accts 22;3 Then Paul said, "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, and I was brought up and educated here in Jerusalem under Gamaliel. As his student, I was carefully trained in our Jewish laws and customs. I became very zealous to honor God in everything I did, just like all of you today.
The bible encouraged people to acquire skills,its also the same things as knowledge.Exo 31;2,3,4: …2"See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3"I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship, 4to make artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,…
But you know there is a slight difference and similarities between knowledge,understanding and wisdom but thats not our focus.Now what is knowledge according to the bible .
Proverbs 18:15English Standard Version (ESV)
15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge,
and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.The bible encourage every to acquire wisdom,knowledge and understanding and there is a penalty if we choose the part to foolishness .
and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.The bible encourage every to acquire wisdom,knowledge and understanding and there is a penalty if we choose the part to foolishness .
If we want we can go to the ends of the world in quest to answer our unending questions,or to satisfy our curiosity and make life easy for our selves but the truth is that GOD IS ALL KNOWING and only in him you cant get your answers.
Proverbs 2:10 ESV /
For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
Proverbs 1:7 ESV
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Hosea 4:6-7 ESv
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame.
Proverbs 24:5 ESV
A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
Proverbs 8:10 ESV /
Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold,
Proverbs 15:14 ESV The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
There is a simple logic and secret to having knowledge ,wisdom and understanding.This the secret:THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM that means we do not fear and follow the lord and we still claim to wise,we are just deceiving ourselves.People often think they know what is right for them but JESUS formed you from your mothers womb and he knew you and has kept you all this while and you what the world says and reject him.There are so many misery and people are wallowing in ignorance and are being kept in darkness because of lack of knowledge of JESUS CHRIST.All we have to do is ask.James 1:5
to do is ask that is all.in james 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Because without the wisdom there is no way we can please JESUS.1kings3:9 says Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?.Wisdom is knowing JESUS,wisdom is believing in him,wisdom is following him.There is no wisdom without Christ.He rose from the Dead to declare to us that we can now access his unlimited power.
