The Tree of Knowledge

The “tree of knowledge”

of our lives is beautifully adorned and adored by those of us who like to heap knowledge in great storehouses. Knowledge that is not really practical becomes a “trinket” on our shelf of pride, a badge of honor, so we think. Our otherwise humble spirit can gloat on facts of little worth, and gain a fair showing at the table of the “upper echelon” in society circles, gained, or won in the quiet moments of life. Oh that I would use what little God has given me to glorify Him, and His. Let not wisdom rule my spirit in a showy fashion, but that wisdom be “justified of her children”. Remember, it was the desire for knowledge and wisdom that enticed Eve to sin in Eden.
