Wisdom
Compared To
Knowledge

“If anyone of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God...
and it shall be given him.”

James 1:5

Webster defines knowledge as the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association. It is information we have learned and seen through facts. On the other hand, wisdom is the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting; insight, common sense, good judgement.

When Jesus taught He often repeated himself over and over in different ways because He was acutely aware that many who listened to Him had some knowledge of God, but not the wisdom of God. King David however grew in wisdom because he spent so much time alone with God and mediated on His WORD as he wrote in Psalms:

“Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.”

Psalm 51:6

Wouldn’t you love to see things as God sees as what He knows? You can by drawing close to Him and let the Holy Spirit who gives all wisdom and knowledge to open this up to you. This goes beyond our knowledge of living and experiencing life and cannot compare to the wisdom we understand and retain by spending time with the Lord. It is through His word and the Holy Spirit that we learn God’s insight, judgment and truth.
