This I Know

This, I Know

   Many years ago when I was in college, our psychology class had an in depth debate about the distinction between knowledge and wisdom. Most opinions surmised that knowledge and wisdom are interrelated. The concluding summations offered that knowledge was absolutely essential for wisdom to be possessed.
  
   But the conclusion of our discussions seemed to assert that wisdom could never be attained by the lesser educated. While I highly recommend education and the accumulation of knowledge, I don't think we can simply discount the "common sense" that seems to be either imparted by a Creator, or accumulated by personal experience, even by those who have never had the opportunity for higher education.

   Perhaps you are familiar with Socrates famous quote: "The only true knowledge is in knowing you know nothing."   

   Over the years, and after accumulating a lifetime of experience and knowledge, my own personal observation has come to be this: "The greatest knowledge is coming to the point of acknowledging to myself that the vast amount of knowledge to be known, will never be known by me, and I surely do now know it."

   Knowing you know nothing can be very disconcerting. It can make you feel downright ignorant. But even in my state of not knowing much, "This I Know.

   There is a God who "KNOWS EVERYTHING"!

   And when I need to Know something, I can ask him, and if I need Wisdom, he can provide that too! So the distinctions between knowledge and Wisdom, and knowing the difference begins with Knowing God!........ This, I Know!

I John 3:20  For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things!
