The Understanding of divine things is the result of Scriptural K nowledge and W isdom applied in a practical way in our day-to-day Christian life.
It is possible to have a great deal of biblical knowledge which of course is very good and necessary, but that knowledge in itself is not enough. With the Lord’s help and the guidance of the Holy Spirit we need to take that knowledge and use it in a proper way. We read of Daniel and his three friends, “As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams” (Daniel 1:17). This was the result of obedience and dependance on their God.
When Paul heard of the love and faithfulness of the believers at Colosse he said, “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding”(Colossians 1:9).
