He was a brilliant man. After dinner he excused himself and went outside and when he returned I could smell that he had been smoking. Here is a man whose head is just about to burst with knowledge, but he was not wise. There is a difference between wisdom and knowledge. Knowledge deals with the acquisition of information whereas wisdom deals with the application.
Wisdom has to do with the practical use of the knowledge.
Now when we say that God is wise, we mean that not only does He have knowledge, but that He chooses the best and the highest goals with which to bring about His purposes. Divine wisdom is the logical outworking of His divine omniscience. He chooses the best goals and the best means whereby he brings about the things which He has planned. The evidence of God s wisdom is seen in four main areas. We know that God is wise because we see it in creation.
