Have you ever made a decision where you did all the research, checked all the boxes, and still ended up with the wrong result?

We often confuse knowledge with wisdom. We think that if we know enough, read enough, research enough, then we are automatically making a wise decision. But Scripture shows us something different.

In this episode of Anchor Points, Devin shares a personal story about choosing window shades for his home. He researched everything. Colors. Materials. Motorized versus manual. He brought plenty of knowledge to the table. But when it came time to sign the contract, he rushed through the most important part and left wisdom behind.

The result? The wrong window shades installed.

This episode explores why wisdom is less about information and more about care. Being careful. Being aware. Slowing down. Paying attention to what knowledge alone cannot see.

In this episode:

1. Why knowledge is not the same thing as wisdom
2. How rushing decisions can make us vulnerable to avoidable mistakes
3. Why wisdom is closely tied to care and awareness
4. How God invites us to slow down and seek wisdom in everyday decisions

Scripture (NIV):

“The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” - Proverbs 4:7

TODAY’S FAITH EXERCISE:

Think of a moderately big decision you are facing right now. Before moving forward, pause and ask God for wisdom, not just clarity or information. Then slow down and review your next step carefully and prayerfully.

💬 Where have you relied on knowledge but skipped wisdom? What might God be inviting you to notice if you slowed down?
