The Difference Between Knowledge and God's Wisdom
You know, I enjoy every minute of these devotionals I write and share every day. My prayer is that God blesses me with the knowledge and the wisdom to share His message in a meaningful and relatable way. I hope I am doing just that...But what is knowledge and wisdom after all? I’d say knowledge is the storing up of information, and wisdom is the ability to apply the right information in a given situation. From a worldly perspective, knowledge helps you make a living, but wisdom makes a life. Our world is overflowing with knowledge, but we are bankrupt of wisdom. The need for wisdom today makes this gift valuable to the body of Christ. I found this explanation;“To fully understand this spiritual gift, Christians need to understand the differences among natural wisdom, worldly wisdom, and God's wisdom. Natural wisdom is made up of our intellectual capacity and experience and is the fruit of earthly reasoning. It is technical in nature. Natural wisdom offers man's best answer to a question or problem.Worldly wisdom is what deceived Adam and Eve in the Garden. This type of wisdom rationalizes sin and separates us from God. It can even make people feel they are godlike themselves. When a person is so convinced of the superiority of his own wisdom and knowledge, he may deny God and be kept from salvation. God has declared war on this type of wisdom.”“For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart."”1 Corinthians 1:19 Much love,

Seek Understanding Before Judging Others
“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.”Proverbs 18:2 How quick do you judge others? How often do you feel misunderstood? If I’m honest, I’d say for me, quite a bit on both...Look, no one likes to be misunderstood, yet we often make faulty judgments of peop...
