Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever you do, develop good judgment. -Proverbs 4:7(NLT)
WISEST THING TO DO
A poem and essay by ILMA
It is good to ask the Lord for understanding
He knows how to help you in your suffering
He sees everything and can direct your life
Don’t rely on human counsel, they are finite.
Getting wisdom from God is the wisest thing to do
It will give you knowledge because it is all true
You won’t gain good insight when you follow this world
The fountain of knowledge can only be found in God’s word.
________________________________________
There are many people who pursue knowledge without wisdom. These two concepts are oftentimes interchanged. Some people could be educated and have all the intelligence in the world, but that doesn’t make them wise.
Wisdom is the quality or state of being wise. It is understanding what is true or right coupled and making good judgment to act upon it. Knowledge is facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education. It may be theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. In knowledge, we have the data we need stored in our brain while in wisdom, we apply an act of choosing and making the right decision to act or apply what we know.
The bible recommends that the wisest thing to do is to get wisdom and develop good judgment.
