Knowledge? Wisdom? What's in your wallet? Proverbs 1:7-9

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

What is wisdom? What is knowledge? Knowledge is the range of knowing or understanding; wisdom is the quality of being wise or good judgment. My question, then, to you is - by touching a hot stove, being burned, and then not touch a hot stove again - is this knowledge or wisdom?

Proverbs 1:7-9 "Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. My child, listen when your father corrects you. Don't neglect your mother's instruction. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck."

Have you met the type of person who is a know-it-all, who has a stated opinion about everything, is closed to anything new, resents discipline, and refuses to learn? Solomon tells us these people are fools! Yes, fools!

It is not for you to know it all; be open to the advice of others. Listen to ones you trust, ones who know you well and learn. God is the only one who knows it all.

We live in the millennium era of information where knowledge is plentiful, but wisdom is scare. Wisdom is far more than simply knowing a lot. It is a basic attitude that affects every aspect of life.

The foundation of knowledge is to fear the LORD - to honor and respect God, to live in awe of his power, and to obey his Word. Faith in God should be the controlling principle for your understanding of the world, your attitudes, and your actions. Want wisdom? Trust in God - he will make you truly wise.

Remember - actions speak louder than words; a picture is worth a thousand words. Act wisely my friend. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
