For the LORD gives wisdom and from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:6
The word philosophy means the love of wisdom. Wisdom is not knowledge, it is the use of what we know. Quite a lot of learning happens impassively, or involuntarily. Seeking God in these moments grants insight and understanding and safeguards against wrongdoing.
A proverb is a guide to practical living. Every culture and age has a collection of their own, but God granted greater insight to Solomon, the Biblical Proverb’s author, because he chose wisdom. Kings came from the ends of the earth to seek his counsel and to hear him speak on everything from botany to morals.
Wisdom doesn’t happen. It must be sought whole heartedly. Will there be test? You can bet your life on it.
Have a Wonderful Friday,
