Where does knowledge and Wisdom dwell?

Most of the time I would consider my head to be a vault of wisdom and secrets. What is known can be easily accessed, what isn't known can be easily learned. Practical wisdom, spiritual wisdom; my undertstanding is that they swim in the waters of my head. How poor my understanding of spiritual knowledge is.

Math maybe be studied and then constructed. Science facts may be studied and then renewed. English rules may be practiced and then applied to papers. But spiritual knowledge and wisdom, what a beast!

Why call this a beast? Is it not mere static knowledge like the rest of the things we learn in school? I would tell you no, because what the bible says. Holy knowledge is resisted by those who are perishing. Holy knowledge tells us about the things that are unseen. We have a mind capable like a sponge, but a pride and a sinful nature that often ring out our minds, and sop up evil instead.

Our minds are not considered to be great storehouses or even factories of this knowledge. There are no commands that we should learn the bible, then try to write the next chapter of it. Our lot in the whole thing is to trust, obey, and keep ourselves to the faithful word written.
