Ecc 7:11-12 (niv) Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits those who see the sun. Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it.
“The major lesson from Ecclesiastes is that the wisdom Solomon is promoting is indeed sagacity, but a narrow, intensely practical, spiritual sagacity…
The term sagacity, which entered English from Latin through French, suggests “quickness of perception,” “soundness in judgment,” and “farsightedness.”
It pictures a mind that can cut through a situation’s unimportant fluff or misdirecting false flags to grasp the essentials of a problem’s solution.
This is important for a Christian because Satan has filled the world with his clever deceptions” (The Berean, 2-12-21). (2 Thess 2:9-10, Rom 16:17-18).
Since satan’s lies and deceptions are so prolific, abundant and inundating, Christians have no excuse for not learning and practicing discernment (Rom 1:20).
