Knowledge or Wisdom?

Daniel 11-12; Luke 6 

“’Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. But you, Daniel, close up and seal the the words of the scroll until the time of the end…Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.’”

Daniel 12:3, 4

In an age when the pursuit of knowledge has never been more accessible, where are the wise, as God defines wisdom?

Those who are wise in God’s eyes understand the eternal value of the soul and invest in leading “many to righteousness”. The heart of the gospel is God’s gift of righteousness to those who believe in and follow Jesus. The world has its Nobel prizes and Academy awards; heaven has its stars.

Are we living for the world’s approval or the Lord’s?

Many go here and there on the internet or the globe to increase their knowledge; God’s stars lead many to the One who will satisfy their thirst for knowledge, peace within, and hope for the future.

Are we living for knowledge or wisdom?

“Lord Jesus, thank you for teaching me to “catch men” and to lead others to righteousness, for your glory.”
