Wisdom is one of the most important things that you can have in your life, it’s useful for almost everything! As Douglas was preparing for this episode, he wanted to know what the difference between wisdom and knowledge was. He discovered that knowledge is what you know, like facts. and Wisdom is using what you know to make good choices. Knowledge can tell you what’s true or false, but wisdom can tell you what’s right or wrong. And not only do we want to have wisdom, but we also want to have godly wisdom. The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This doesn’t mean that we have to be super scared of God all the time, but if we don’t care what God thinks, then we can never truly be wise. We want to have the wisdom that Jesus has, we want to be able to know the difference between right and wrong. If you want to be wise, God says that you should ask Him for help. He would love to help us be wise!
