Proverbs 18:15 (NLT2)
Intelligent people are always ready to learn. Their ears are open for knowledge.

Knowledge in the Bible refers to the understanding, recognition, or the acknowledgement of something, to perceive or to be aware of something.
The Bible is clear that the knowledge of God is the most valuable knowledge humans can possess according to Proverbs 2:5. This knowledge of God is not simply theoretical or factual; it includes experiencing the reality of God in our lives, as stated in Philippians 3:10 while Jeremiah 22:15-16 says we should live in the manner that shows respect for the power and majesty of God, and not through knowledge gleaned from man or books.
Being aware of God’s existence is not sufficient; the knowledge of God must include a deep appreciation for a relationship with Him.
There are tons of self-help book on the market that tells us how to do virtually everything and, according to Ecclesiastes 12:12, some of these books are not for us but we find a lot of believers quoting them and living life on their recommendations, yet discarding the godly knowledge and wisdom found in the scriptures. There’s nothing wrong with reading or writing books but remember according to Proverbs 2:6 that ultimately God gives the gift of knowledge out of His infinite store of knowledge.
Paul did extraordinary exploits for God. He was bitten by a snake, imprisoned, shipwrecked, beaten, and buffeted by trials yet was inspired by God to write half the New Testament. He gained experiential knowledge when he met Jesus which made the gospel alive to him.
Paul’s life and exploits tell us that no man can know everything. No matter how much revelation God gives, 1 Corinthians 13:9 says God reveals to us only what we need for the moment. Knowledge is a lifelong pursuit, not an instant acquisition. We must constantly seek knowledge but mainly from God because there’s always a fresh revelation and anointing from His throne. We should be like the Deer mentioned in Psalm 42:1, panting for knowledge in the Lord who supplies us with everything we need. Human knowledge apart from God is flawed and worthless if it isn’t tempered by love says1 Corinthians 13:2.
The vastness of God’s knowledge and creative power are continually on display and are seen in His creation, as Paul reminds us in Romans 1:19-20. Not only is God’s knowledge infinite, but it is also absolute and contains anything and everything we would ever need in life.
God wants to be needed, so wants us to learn all about and know Him.
Knowledge is not accidental, it is intentional. It is something you work towards. Your DNA predisposes you to some things but then you have a part to play regarding the outcome.
The knowledge man possesses tends to make them proud, 1 Corinthians 8:1. The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, without seeking God, is foolishness. Growing in your knowledge of God should be more than a casual pursuit; it should be a consuming passion.
God has deposited something in you, but you must act upon it. It is the truth you know that will set you free, so don’t perish for lack of knowledge. Pursue knowledge in and through the Lord. Are you in pursuit of Godly knowledge? Knowledge is power!
Shalom
