Knowledge: A Virtue to seek

HIGHER EVERYDAY MONDAY MAY 04, 2026 KNOWLEDGE: A VIRTUE TO SEEK TEXT: EXODUS 35:30-35 MEMORY VERSE: "And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship" (EXODUS 35:31). Knowledge is a divine gift that empowers individuals to fulfil their God-given assignments. In Exodus 35:30-35, God filled Bezaleel with wisdom, understanding and knowledge to build the tabernacle. This demonstrates that knowledge is not merely about acquiring information but about applying it in ways that honour and glorify God. Hence, Shiv Khera in his book, You Can Win, states, "We hear every day that knowledge is power. Not really. Knowledge is information. It is potential power and it becomes power only when it is acted upon." We see many inventions taking place in the world today because skilled and gifted people are seriously researching and using their knowledge to produce goods and services for the good of humanity. True knowledge originates from God, and when guided by His Spirit, it leads to creativity, excellence, and purposeful living. Friend, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" (Proverbs 1:7). This emphasises that knowledge detached from God lacks eternal value. Like Bezaleel, we must seek divine wisdom to use our knowledge effectively for God's glory and the good of humanity. QUOTE: True knowledge originates from God. CHALLENGE: Read good books to acquire knowledge. PRAYER: Oh God, give me knowledge to fulfil destiny. #trend #devotional #trending
