Ecclesiastes 2:13
I saw that
wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness.

Kahle has a vision for the Internet. He dreams of universal access to all human
knowledge. As Digital Librarian and Director and co-founder of Internet
Archive, Kahle believes we have only begun to tap the vast potential of the
Internet to change and improve our world.
“My interest,” he says, “is to build the great
library…It is now technically possible to live up to the dream of the Library
of Alexandria.” He’s referring to a huge vault of writings in ancient Egypt
that was said to house all the world’s knowledge.
But
knowledge is not the same of wisdom. King Solomon was a man of vast knowledge
([bible]iking4:29-34[/bible]). In his better moments, he used his God-given
capacity to collect information and insight from every corner of life.
In unguarded
moments, however, he showed that all the knowledge in the world does not keep a
person from missing the purpose of life ([bible]eccle1:16-18[/bible]). In spite
of his knowledge, Solomon married many women, and when he was old he built
altars to their gods ([bible]iking11:1-11[/bible]). His foolishness eventually
led to his downfall.
Wisdom is
the application of knowledge. Don’t get caught in a web of knowledge without
true wisdom that comes from the fear of the Lord ([bible]prove1:7[/bible];
[bible]prove9:10[/bible]), because true wisdom is in living near Jesus every
day. And true wisdom is in walking where He shall lead the way.
Wisdom gives wings to knowledge.
