Proverbs 4: 7: "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." As translated the verse means, “Wisdom is of the first importance, do not neglect it.” Another possible sense is that “Wisdom is first in line” for the learner. Wisdom is ready, and the one who wishes to learn may begin immediately. Notice the way he speaks of wisdom. It is not just knowledge; it is not simply having a computer mind. It is wisdom and intelligence to use knowledge properly and to have a love for it. That is something that the souls of men need today. Someone once said to me, "Knowledge is knowing what to do and wisdom is knowing how to do it." While this may be an oversimplification, it makes the valid point between wisdom and knowledge. We are to strive to get wisdom and that process will begin with reading the Word of God. There, you will find the supreme source for wisdom and knowledge.
