This verse had something pop in my mind very quickly:
Proverbs 15:14
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
The first thing that came to my mind when I read this was this...how many millions of people turn to Oprah, Dr. Phil, Larry King, many of the news organizations for knowledge everyday? These folks try to answer all of life's questions by worldly answers. Americans eat is like a Chinese buffet. Then when their foolish answers come crashing down we ask why!!
The first part of this verse directs believers in how we should seek knowledge. We must have understanding. Where do we obtain that? From the Word of God. This is our main source! Prayer is another source where we can here from God directly. Another good way to get that understanding is through Bible based teaching. I hope you caught the Bible based part because their are many who want to say the are Bible teachers but put to much of their own opinions in their teachings be careful of that. The only way you will catch their false teachings is to be in the Word yourself!
So let me ask you...where are seeking your knowledge? Get it from God not the world!
