Quote for the Day

I have been enjoying rereading Lewis Drummond's biography of C. H. Spurgeon.  Today, I happened across this quote from Spurgeon:

“Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.”

I took this quote as a timely reminder not to become wise in my own eyes.  Instead of priding myself on my wealth of knowledge, I should depend on God daily for His wisdom and direction.  There is no wisdom apart from God.
