The book of Proverbs is probably one of my favorites. There are so many verses within that book that makes a big difference in our walk with God. Proverbs 2:2-6 is probably one of my favorites. It talks about wisdom and knowledge. Many times we confuse the two. The verses say: making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Phew! that is a long passage, I think one of the longest that I have posted on here.
Wisdom: power of judging rightly and following the soundest course of action.
Knowledge: all that has been perceived or grasped by the mind; learning; enlightenment.
Both of those definitions come from yourdictionary.com. As you can see there is a difference between being wise and being knowledgeable. We get understandging and knowledge of Godly things from Him. If we honor Him we have His protection and guidance. He guards the path we walk. And we should be seeking God's wisdom as treasure instead of the earthly wisdom we tend to strive for. Today we put too much emphasis on the worldly things instead of Godly wisdom.
To fear God is to seek his knowledge and understanding through everything we do. It would be more valuable than moeny or any treasure in this world. God treasure is so much better! King Solomon knew this when he asked God for wisdom to govern God's people over anything.
