“For the LORD grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” (Prov. 2:6 NLT)
God grants wisdom, knowledge, and understanding! When you think about it, you could achieve practically anything if you possess these three qualities.
Here are how these three qualities are defined and how to get them
1. Wisdom: the quality of having good judgment and common sense. Being wise.
The Bible says, “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” (James 3:17)
How do you get it? You ask God for it; “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” (James 1:5)
2. Knowledge: facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education.
The Bible says, “Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.” (Prov. 1:5)
How do you get it? You seek it, “An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” (Prov. 18:15)
3. Understanding: the ability to understand something; comprehension.
The Bible says, “The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.” (Psalm 119:130)
How do you get it? You incline your heart to it. “Making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding,” (Prov. 2:2)
Quote:
“Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. – Charles Spurgeon
