Wisdom vs Knowledge Part II

For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.... Proverbs 2:6

     First, it is important that wisdom comes from God.  True wisdom, in which are included: knowledge and understanding, comes from the mouth of God.
     This is kind of an important point.  If wisdom comes from the mouth of God, then it seems to me that it would be extremely important for one to be in God's Word, that is, if one wanted to become wise.
     Wisdom helps one to discen between right and wrong, between good and evil, between righteousness and unrighteousness.  Take Solomon for example--    And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. [9] Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?"
    [10] It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. [11] And God said to him, "Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, [12] behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you. 1 Kings 3:8-12

     It was an understanding mind and discernment that Solomon asked for.  Basically, he was asking the Lord for wisdom in order to be able to rule the people.  And God was pleased with this request, because fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.  This is what Solomon desired.  I wonder what the world would be like if we all desired and asked for true wisdom, which comes from being in the Word of God.  Something to ponder.
