KNOW_led_ge, UNDER_stand_ing & WISE_dom

Knowledge begets truth, obedience & discipline begets understanding; wisdom begets peace and life.

Knowledge = who, what, where
Understanding = how, why
Wisdom = apply

Stand under the ledge of Wisdom’s domain, it will pour into you what must be known from above.

If you seek to know and gain understanding of that knowing, wisdom will lead you to Truth; it will keep you from the precarious ledge overlooking the pits of despair. Wisdom is life and peace. Stand under its statutes, discipline yourself, yield to its dominion in both mind and body and you will become a disciple of truth. You will not be led astray into the slavery of the mind that leads to death and darkness.

Knowledge is the raw unfiltered data
Understanding is the context, the meaning, the interconnectedness of the data points, the relation
Wisdom is the application, the bearing of fruit

What good is knowledge if you don’t understand the meaning; what good is understanding if you lack the will to put it to good use. You cannot have wisdom without learning knowledge and then gaining understanding through time and experience.

Understanding is to stand under obedience to a person and/or process… to submit oneself to a discipline becoming its disciple.

This applies to everything. If you practice the ways of the world and the flesh, you will be a disciple of the world and the flesh. If you practice the ways of the self, you will become your own disciple. If you practice the ways of religion, you will be religious. If you practice the Way of Jesus Christ, you will be His disciple. This is immutable.

“Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will guard you; Love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your acquiring, get understanding.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“Make your ear attentive to wisdom, incline your heart to understanding; For if you cry for discernment, lift your voice for understanding; If you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will discern the fear of the Lord And discover the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones. Then you will discern righteousness and justice And equity and every good course. For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; Discretion will guard you, Understanding will watch over you, To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things;”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
