Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 4:7
Our world is full of choices. Knowledge is everywhere. The internet has brought the world within in reach with the click of a button. If you want to know about penguins or polar bears, no problem. Just pull up Mr. Google and "Voila." (By the way, did you know that penguins live at the south pole and polar bears at the north pole? They will never have a chance to meet.)
Yet with all this knowledge there is very little wisdom. Wisdom, in my own simple definition, is the ability to take all this vast array of knowledge and break it down to where it can be applied to our lives. What is the best thing to do right now in my situation? Which car do I buy? What doctor do I go to see? Can I afford to buy this? And the list goes on .....
There will always be questions but thankfully there will always be an answer. Things become much clearer after a time of prayer and reading God's word. Are you concerned about something? Uncertain about the next move or whether to move at all? Ask God for wisdom and spend some time reading his word. You might find that things are much simpler than you originally thought.
Yes, knowledge is important but wisdom is the most important thing.
