The thing about wisdom… 

 

You can’t have wisdom without knowledge. Wisdom is applying what you know to be true and right in a way that is beneficial not only for yourself but when dealing with others too.

 

An ignorant person lacks knowledge. A fool may have knowledge but uses no wisdom…

An ignorant person and a fool are first cousins and to be an ignorant fool is a true tragedy!

 

If you lack wisdom you lack knowledge. These are things we have to pursue as well as learn from experience. They just don’t drop out of the sky. That’s why the Bible says to seek after godly knowledge and counsel of the Most High and pray for wisdom. But if you don’t read the Bible you don’t know that.

 

In my younger days I was an ignorant fool in a lot of ways. Most of what I’ve learned I’ve learned the hard way because I didn’t listen to wise counsel or apply the knowledge from God’s word correctly. 

 

Thank God for his mercies that are new every morning.
