"The tongue of the wise useth knowledge right: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness."
Proverbs 15:2
This is interesting because I think sometimes we think of knowledge as inherently good, or an end unto itself. This reminds me of the Garden of Eden as well, with the temptation of knowledge, but without the wisdom to use it perfectly.
That's where God comes in. Knowledge is awesome if we know how to use it well, which is basically what God teaches us. He grants us knowledge not to bludgeon other people over the head with, but for self-improvement and the betterment of the world.
Today, let's not boast or think that our knowledge makes us better than anyone else. Instead, let's see how what we know can be used to improve ourselves and the world around us, and work on being wise rather than foolish. :)
