Common Sense Commentary: Wisdom is the proper use of knowledge. Wisdom Exceeds Knowledge As Knowledge Exceeds Information. Why does God bless some with wisdom and not others? They don't want it bad enough to pray for it. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally.... and it shall be given him." James 1:5. Before a person asks and attains wisdom from God, they must first know their need for it. Knowing they
"lack wisdom" is honest humility, which is the proper attitude in which to approach God, in prayer. Wisdom, like love, is a quality available to all who resolutely seek it for their soul's sake.... in their service to God and man. Even a retarded person can pray for and receive wisdom. So, can an Atheist or an idiot seek wisdom? Only if they cease to be an Atheist or an idiot. Both may study and acquire great knowledge, and do. The world has a host of highly educated idiots and Atheists. Many are famous and powerful, and often in pulpits, education, politics, business and science. Nothing is more dangerous and villainous than an educated idiot or Atheist.
The Rational Mind
by
Rayburn Blair at 85
It stands to reason
Is logically sound
In God's own season
On all solid ground
Good Sense gets born
And matures with age
A crown to be worn
It is wisdom's wage
Some lives to anoint
To give light to the blind
And that is the point
Of a rational mind
