Proverbs 2:6 says, “For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”
Many people mistakenly interpret knowledge as information.
As a result, they strive to consume as much information as they can. Usually, this leads to information constipation, where the individual is whipped into a state of action paralysis.
One of the Hebrew words translated “knowledge” is “madda”, which literally means “intelligence”.
Staff members of the CIA and FBI are usually called intelligence officers.
This isn’t because they are encyclopedias of knowledge, but rather because they have a specific, privileged awareness of the variables of a specific situation.
In the same vein, the men of Issachar were called men of understanding because they had privileged, revealed knowledge of what Israel had to do per season.
Understand this: Life is complicated as it is. There’s information everywhere - plenty of noise, little signal.
You really don’t need to know everything there is to know!
You only need to have the revealed knowledge of what works and the wisdom to work it out.
May the Lord give you Understanding in these things.
