Knowledge

When seeking knowledge and how to obtain,
The source is not self so don’t strain your brain.

Man has no knowledge of the future to share,
No matter how much they study, strive and prepare.

Seek the Spirit of the Almighty, His Word accrue,
And receive His Wisdom and Knowledge to know what to do.

Solomon asked God for wisdom and knowledge and God gave it to Him. Much of his wisdom is recorded in the book of Proverbs so I recommend that you read a chapter of it everyday. There are thirty one chapters in the book and thirty one days in most months. If you will read a chapter every day you will be enriched in wisdom and enjoy. You will read through it twelve times a year and it will help you obtain the knowledge you need to make wise decisions.

But just because you have wisdom doesn’t mean that you will act like it. Love is still more important than knowledge. Solomon was considered to be the wisest man on earth. But with all his wisdom he still went astray because his love was lacking. So seek the Spirit of the Almighty and endeavor to obtain understanding of the Scriptures for the Word of God is the wisdom of the ages. But in all your seeking, seek first to love the Lord with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.

Because the love of the Lord is the ultimate knowledge, and you will truly be wise when this you acknowledge.
When all of your decisions are founded in love, you’ll have the wisdom of the Almighty and walk in the knowledge thereof.

2 Chron 1:10-12
10 Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?"

11 Then God said to Solomon: "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life — but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king — 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like."
NKJV

Prov 1:1-7
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:

2 To know wisdom and instruction,
To perceive the words of understanding,
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom,
Justice, judgment, and equity;
4 To give prudence to the simple,
To the young man knowledge and discretion —
5 A wise man will hear and increase learning,
And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
6 To understand a proverb and an enigma,
The words of the wise and their riddles.

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
NKJV

Prov 2:1-9
2 My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
4 If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
8 He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
NKJV

Eccl 2:26-3:1
26 For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

3 To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:

2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
