THE ALTITUDE

Reading has only recently grown to be fascinating to me. I now enjoy to read as long as what im reading is undisputed truth. I tend to stay away from ideas and books that are structured around maybes and stories that are half truths or small insights into a persons life. all thoughts and energies in this world are information, but all information is not knowledge. Both are important and carry weight in your mind, impacting what you think and how you think. What separates knowledge from information is insight. Insight is only as valuable as the discernment of the one who receives the insight. Your thoughts have to be filtered. You have to know what to take on and what to throw away. You can identify knowledge based on one simple rule called discovery. Discovery is the seeking of something that exist independent of man. This is what sets science and math apart. Both are intertwined into nature and the perspective of the observer is irrelevant because it is nonchanging. What separates science from history? You cannot speak about history without both offering your perspective and the perspective of whoever the subject is on. Whereas knowledge, for example the exploration of the atom and use of the electron not only exist since the beginning of time, they will continue to exist whether someone tells you about them or not. In fewer words knowledge is perpetual and everything else is simply information or insight. If you do not understand what i'm saying here i would encourage you to read it until you do because you cannot fully seek knowledge without knowing what it is. Proverbs 8:10 tells us to choose knowledge over gold and states that wisdom is more valuable than rubies. These words come from the perspective of God, therefore they are truth and should be treated as such. Knowledge can be known without being understood. Understanding can be gathered without the wisdom of when. Using knowledge and understanding, wisdom can bring forth good judgement in perfect timing.

​

It is imperative to read the word of God so that you can identify the truth (Gods perspective) in a world of lies (the perspectives of others). As you are familiar with the truth you will gain discernment so that you can walk with good judgement. Just like anything I would encourage you to build a solid foundation. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
