Understanding Is Deeper Than Knowledge

Most of us have a lot of knowledge about many things. We can read things in books and believe we know a lot. But until we have a heart understanding about something we don't really know.
My dad was big on saying to me, "You think you know little girl, but you don't know." He knew I had some knowledge about a situation or subject, but I didn't really have a deeper understanding about it.
Sometimes we need to go through a situation before we have a deeper understanding. We may think we know all about it because we've read some material. However, it's not until we've gone through it ourselves that we have a deeper understanding.
Today's Bible verse says, "Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding," Proverbs 3:13 NIV
It's not how much knowledge we have, but how much we understand that makes a difference in our lives. We are blessed when we find wisdom because we then gain understanding.
