Wisdom | Episode 11 | Understanding

Many people know what the Bible says, but few understand what God means. Knowledge of Scripture alone is not enough—we must also understand its meaning. In Episode 11 of “Wisdom,” Duane Sheriff teaches about the second pillar in the house of wisdom—understanding.

Proverbs 9:1 and Proverbs 1:2–5 reveal that wisdom is built on seven pillars, beginning with knowledge and then understanding. Knowledge is knowing the truth of what God says in the Bible. Understanding means grasping what that truth means and how it connects. Without understanding, it’s easy to misunderstand or misuse Scripture—to “read the Bible through a straw” by focusing on a single verse while ignoring its context—and end up confused about God’s Word.

Through Jesus’ example in Luke 24 and Paul’s prayers for the church, we see that true understanding is a work of the Holy Spirit opening the eyes of our hearts. As God gives both knowledge of what He has said and understanding of what He means, we move beyond information into transformation. The pillar of understanding enables us to interpret Scripture correctly, discern the times we are living in, and walk out God’s will in our daily lives.
