Amassing knowledge and gaining wisdom are two different things.
So, what hinges the difference between knowledge and wisdom? Among other things that distinguish the two, knowledge isn't enough at times. It has been said that knowledge is power. And, that appears to be the case, especially when knowledge is commoditized. But wisdom steps away from commoditization, from self-importance. Wisdom is willing to wait for its power. Because it knows that life's architecture is on its side...it is patient. It rarely uses force because truth can be heavy enough, when it needs to be. It is not proud. It is content.
And, wisdom seems to be something you pray for. ...especially when you know you need it.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
-- 1 Timothy 6:6
