wisdom

in church today, one of the things that stuck out to me was what the council speaker talked about. he said he was thinking about joseph smith and james 1:5 and how it says "if any of you lack WISDOM, let him ask of god..." he talked about the difference between wisdom and knowledge, and how as we seek for wisdom, and not just knowledge, our testimonies will be strengthened. he talked about how "wisdom" means the application of knowledge, the experience and understanding we receive when we DO something, how to solve problems, and not just what we know... but what we DO. he said that as we develop the ability to receive guidance from god, as we change our prayers (from asking to "feel the spirit" to being "instructed," "given wisdom," or "guidance" from the spirit), as we serve others, as we figure decision out on our own and act on them to receive either the blessings or consequences, and as we get to know the holy ghost and build a relationship with him, that we will be able gain stronger testimonies that we can rely on because we have EXPERIENCES of being guided by the spirit and receiving WISDOM every day. through this week, seek for wisdom, and the lord will bless you.
