Wisdom and Knowledge

Wisdom and knowledge are things worth attaining. We all want to know more about the world in which we live. It's a natural desire. Lucky for us, God's word contains otherworldly wisdom.

There is a humility that comes from wisdom. When people lean into the word of God, they have knowledge that comes from God, who gives generously to them. God's wisdom is far greater than human wisdom.

When a person listens to advise, they can avoid making mistakes for themselves. These people are often gentle, open to reason. When people forsake wisdom, they will act contemptuously towards people living in God's wisdom.

In today's Bible study, we will learn about encouraging Bible verses about wisdom and knowledge:

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
