And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised – Ecclesiastes 1:13
It is easy to research various topics today given the shear amount of public information that is readily available and given the advent of artificial intelligence tools. But just because we get knowledge does not mean that we will get the right understanding. To get the right understanding requires that we search out by wisdom. To search out by wisdom requires that we engage Wisdom (the Holy Spirit). It is the Holy Spirit that enlightens the eyes of our understanding so that the knowledge we have gathered becomes profitable. We become knowledgeable fools without the input of the Holy Spirit! Without Him, the knowledge we attain can hurt us. Processing information through the lens of bias, prejudice, selfish desires, and pride is not what God desires, but processing information through the lens of His love and understanding. The latter makes research profitable to all.
Searching things out is good, but searching things out by wisdom is best
