Hosea 4:6 NIV
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.
Wisdom comes from God.
James 1:5" If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."
But knowledge comes through our own deliberate effort. According to the scripture, what causes peril for the believer is not a lack wisdom, but a lack of knowledge.
Knowledge comes after applying wisdom (God given) to intense study, research and meditation.
Many gifts are freely given to us by God without requiring any effort. Salvation, righteousness, the Holy Spirit, divine favor. Knowledge is NOT one of them. We have to seek knowledge. It is through our knowledge that the Holy Spirit works his miracles in us.
Proverbs 2:3-5 (NIV)
3. Indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4. and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5.then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
Daniel 11:32 NLT
He will flatter and win over those who have violated the covenant. But the people who know their God will be strong and will resist him.
A child of God, ignorant of her power is no more than a slave
