Wisdom and Knowledge

"For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow" Ecclesiastes 1:18

Wisdom and knowledge can be gained

But what price does man pay

He learns so much in his life

Does it really cause such grief and pain

Wisdom and knowledge may increase

But what price does man pay

He learns to the highest level

With his mind ever be content

Wisdom and knowledge

What does it do for man

How will he know when enough is enough

What kind of grief and pain is endured

What is learned can be useful and discoveries can be positive. However, it must be understood that there will be disappointing discoveries in some wisdom and knowledge gained. I think it may be safe to say that it is the wisdom and knowledge of this world that has the potential to bring grief and pain. Therefore, in the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, look to God and glean from His wisdom and gain in a knowledge that will result in Joy.

Wisdom and Knowledge

Grief and pain

It's of the world

And more we want to gain

Wisdom and Knowledge

It fills our minds

As it comes with much work

And then using what one finds

Wisdom and Knowledge

They can fade and die

And what ought to be done

With that which may be a lie

Wisdom and Knowledge

Happiness and "glee"

For from the Lord is can come

An this can set us free

Wisdom and Knowledge

From where will it be obtained

The world or God

Choosing to think freely or to be pained
