Wisdom + Knowledge

Now give me wisdom and knowledge. (2 Chronicles 1:10)

When offered one wish, Midas...asked that all he touched might turn to gold. His golden desire granted, Midas realized as soon as he wanted to eat that the gift was a curse, not a blessing. Although he got what he wanted, he didn't want what he got.

King Solomon also was offered one wish, but...he asked for wisdom that he might judge God's people justly. He asked not for his own benefit.

Wise people know how to learn...[and] to talk; they speak the truth in love. They know how to act; they pursue justice to evade evil. They balance their words and actions. They say and do the right things at the riht time for the right reasons.
