Wisdom our compass

What is wisdom?

What is the difference between wisdom and knowledge?

The dictionary defines wisdom as "the ability to discern or judge what is true, right or lasting". This is a pattern that occurs throughout the bible. Knowledge on the other hand, is defined as having information through experience, reasoning or acquaintance. 
God wants us to have knowledge of Him and what is expects from us. At the same time, having wisdom is just as important. Knowing facts about God and the bible is not all there is in having wisdom, it is a gift  from God as well - James 1-5 explains in more detail. 
Wisdom is what God will bless us with, so that we can praise His name and live a better way of life.

The book of Proverbs is a good place to study and know God's wisdom. Proverbs 1: 5 - "Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance". 
Knowledge is what is gathered over time by studying the Scriptures and the wisdom we gain will act on our knowledge. One compliments the other. This is our compass.

2 Corinthians 3: 17  "Now the Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom".

We  our truly  "set free"... Praise be to the Lord.



Thank you for sharing this powerful performance.

God bless x
