"The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness."
Proverbs 15:2
I like the idea of using knowledge "aright" here. The Lord wants us to learn and grow, but sometimes when we know a lot we start thinking that we know better than God, or we start using our knowledge to exclude or belittle people. That's using knowledge awrong. :) (Okay, archaic word that went out of style long ago, but thought it was funny in context. Perhaps an example of using knowledge incorrectly.) :)
Today, let's make sure that we are using our knowledge and talents to be better people and to help others rather than using our gifts as tools in a quest to feel better than someone else. Let's be wise rather than foolish, and always remember to consult God, who knows much more than we do, even about ourselves. :)
