By Pastor Henry Mahan formally of the Thirteenth Street Baptist Church, Ashland, Kentucky
Wisdom is more than knowledge, information, and recognized education. A person may have these and still not be wise. Charles Spurgeon (nineteenth century English pastor) once said “Knowledge is the horse; wisdom is the rider who controls the horse and steers him in the right direction.
Wisdom is ~ the proper combination of truth and spirit
Wisdom is ~ the proper union of faith and conduct
Wisdom is ~ the discernment of heart and discipline of mouth
Wisdom is ~ knowing the will of God and yielding to it in spite of frowns or flattery, friends or foes
Wisdom is ~ the gift of God
