Are you looking for wisdom?

There seems to be a relationship with wisdom and understanding, but they are not the same. Understanding is knowing what is true and why it is true. Wisdom is knowing how to apply that truth and live it out.

For instance, a good CEO of a business should have a good understanding of accounting and finance. To be a good lawyer, you have to have a good understanding of the law and how it works. So, understanding helps you recognize God’s truth and God’s will.

Wisdom, on the other hand, gives you the inclination to choose what is true and what is in God’s will.

Understanding has to do with recognition. Wisdom provides the inclination to choose. It helps you to make decisions that please God, to know when to speak and when to remain silent. Wisdom helps you respond to difficult situations with grace, to apply scripture to everyday life, and to choose what is right even when it’s difficult.

But hear this. Without understanding, there can be no wisdom. Understanding is important in many areas of life. I think the most significant area where we need great understanding is in our relationships with others.

And the Bible gives us great instruction here. >>Watch on YouTube
