Researchers have concluded that there is more information in a single issue of the New York Times than a citizen in London during Shakespeare’s time would have had access to in a lifetime. We live in an age with over 600 million websites... billions of facts... and 24 hour access to all of it. Information is easy to find... but is it something we should dedicate our lives to gathering? Maybe there’s something more...
Proverbs 4:7 says “Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” The Bible tells us that it’s wisdom, not just facts, that we should pursue. Information is wonderful... but when it’s acquisition becomes the only goal, it tends to invite pride into our hearts. When we know more... we sometimes think we’re more valuable or important. Not so. Scripture tells us that head knowledge is great but moving it down to the heart and using it to change the world is far better. Seek wisdom not just facts... and you’ll be well on your way to reaching your God potential.
