Knowledge and Wisdom (Part One)
CGG Weekly by Mike FordKnowledge, in its experiential form, is the accumulation of information, facts, and skills gained through education or life encounters. It serves as a foundation for wisdom, combining over time with personal experiences to provide insight. On a physical level, this experiential knowledge equips individuals with the ability to navigate life, though it does not guarantee a deeper understanding of spiritual truths without the guidance of God's Holy Spirit. As experience grows, it can lead to a practical skill in living, often increasing with age, though not always, as even the young can demonstrate profound insight through their encounters with the world. The pursuit of such knowledge, rooted in reverence for the LORD, marks the starting point for true understanding and the development of wisdom.
