In AOTC, Obi-Wan talks with Dex about the poison dart’s origins used by Senator Amidala’s would-be assassin.
Dex shares with Obi-Wan that “I should think that you Jedi would have more respect for the difference between knowledge and wisdom.”
Western science started in an attempt to understand how God created things and ordered the universe. It is modern science that has tried to push God out of our understanding.
We would be smart and wise to come to God looking for wisdom, but what if we are not wise?
How can you attain wisdom? James 1:5 tells us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”
That is very comforting.
There is a condition that is included in verse six.
“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.”
We can learn and memorize a lot of the facts and figures of Scripture. We can study theology and church history but miss out on knowing God.
It is said that some will miss entering heaven by 18 inches, the average distance between our head and our heart.
Knowledge of God is important.
Having wisdom that comes from God is more important.
Through seeking out God in reverence, awe, and fear, we can come into a relationship with Him and live a life that is pleasing to Him.
