Difference between Knowledge & Wisdom

Good morning!  I hope this morning finds everyone in good health.  I've been thinking about the difference between knowledge and wisdom.  Knowledge is based on facts...things we learn..it has a source...a book, teacher, internet.....all are sources of knowledge.  Wisdom is experience...it is how we use knowledge...it is gained with time.  We gain wisdom from the mistakes we make, life experiences...some of the best wisdom I have gained is from great failures and successes...trusting in the knowledge that I have-learning how to use it.  There are no shortcuts to wisdom.  It has great value.  Wisdom teaches you that sometimes the facts (knowledge) isn't always right. *smile*

Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Proverbs 2:6
For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 2:10
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

Proverbs 8:12
"I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.

Proverbs 9:10
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

 Proverbs 14:6
The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.

Daniel 2:21
He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

1 Corinthians 12:8
To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,

The wonderful thing about our Lord is as stated in James 1:5, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." If we ask for wisdom, He will give it to us, not as the world sees wisdom; fleshly wisdom; but wisdom from above, Godly wisdom.
Thanks for the wonderful scripture readings this morning. It is a reminder to all that we should seek His wisdom for our lives. God bless!
