Wisdom vs. Knowledge

by Robert Long   Dec 30, 2018


Wisdom is a process
That's can be hard to get
You can have knowledge
But life can beat you with a stick

Believe in God
And he'll show you the way
Believe in just books
And you might pay

Yes wisdom and knowledge
Goes hand in hand
But I'll tell you this
The same they don't both end

Wisdom is experience
And living it first
But knowledge is
Putting the books first

Like knowledge is knowing
A tomato is a fruit
But wisdom is knowing
That it gets the boot

When it comes to
Making a fruit salad
It doesn't belong
Like a misplaced ballad

So I'll ask you this
On what you go through
Are you using knowledge
Where wisdom is due?

Proverbs 2:6-7 read:
6 All wisdom comes from the Lord,
and so do common sense
and understanding.
7 God gives helpful advice
to everyone who obeys him
and protects all of those
who live as they should.
