Knowledge without wisdom is like a car without gas. It will not go anywhere or in this case accomplish anything.
Colossians 2
Christ is in whom all are hidden.
Colossians 1
Wisdom and knowledge are in Christ.
Proverbs 4
1. Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
3. For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my comandments, and live.
5. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
8. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
Wisdom will add years to your life.
Mark 6
In the works was seen great wisdom.
Luke 1
14. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
16. And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
18. And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
John the Baptist was even filled with the Holy Spirit and with the Spirit of God comes wisdom.
Luke 2
He increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with both God and men.
Luke 21
Acts 6
Romans 11
I Corinthians 1
20. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
24. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
30. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
I Corinthians 2
5. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
God's wisdom is buried in His Spirit and when you are of Christ, you are of the Spirit of God and His wisdom.
1 Corinthians 12
Notice the word of wisdom comes first, it is more important to be wise with little knowledge than to be unwise with a lot of knowledge.
Ephesians 1
17. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
When Jesus is revealed to you, who He is as the Christ and Son of God, you become a part of the church (Matthew 16:15-19), but it does not end there, it just starts there.
Ephesians 3
Colossians 1
28. Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Colossians 4
Wisdom is one of the most important, if not the most important area of growth in our walk with the Lord. Without wisdom we will always have problems, in our finances, health, or salvation in general. It is wisdom that powers the knowledge.
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.
All you have to do is ask for wisdom and God gladly gives it.
What is the evidence of Wisdom?
James 3
13. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Isaiah 11
Luke 11
49. Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
Here are four parts of God that you need.
Faith in and from God
Love for and from God
Wisdom of and from God
Righteousness of and from God
Matthew 6
6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
In seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness you are also seeking wisdom.
God Bless You as you hear His words and follow His leading.
