Wise Word

“And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the assembly was divided...Now when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭23:7, 10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Knowledge is good; but wisdom is mostly superior to knowledge. While knowledge is concerned about personal intelligence and understanding, wisdom leverages on the intelligence and understanding of others beyond self. In situation and circumstances when people gather primarily to size up and implicate the speaker based on the expression of his knowledge, a discerned man will readily apply ‘no word’ as ‘wise word’. When the arranged audience composed of Pharisees, Sadducees, Chief Priests, and the High Priest gathered before the Commander to examine Paul, wisdom enabled Paul to perceive the lack of the audience’s interest in the knowledge of his convictions about faith, hope and righteousness. Rather than expressing one’s knowledge where the content is undesirable, it takes wisdom to know how to escape the setup without saying anything. Unfortunately, people with little or no knowledge are often wiser than those endowed with high intelligence in most spheres of our social and corporate life.
