The title of this blog is – “Daily Blessing.” Naturally we all think, “I would like to be blessed. How can I be blessed?”
The Bible has a lot to say about how we can be blessed.
“Blessed is the person who finds wisdom, the person who gains understanding.” – Proverbs 3:13
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” – Proverbs 9:10
Here are some thoughts on wisdom from my journal from 2012. (I apologize for not noting the author of these insights)
There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is not bad, but knowledge is not enough.
Knowledge is knowing the truth.
Wisdom is knowing what to do with it.
Knowledge is theoretical.
Wisdom is practical.
Knowledge fills your mind.
Wisdom guides your life.
Knowledge is truthful.
Wisdom is useful.
Knowledge provides information.
Wisdom provides transformation.
Knowledge tells you what to believe.
Wisdom tells you how to behave.
You can have knowledge without wisdom. But you can’t have wisdom without knowledge. That’s why wisdom has very little to do with your IQ. There are smart people who make dumb decisions. Wisdom comes from God.
“Blessed is the person who finds wisdom, the person who gains understanding.”
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
