By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; [4] through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. [5] The wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their strength. [6] Surely you need guidance to wage war, and victory is won through many advisers. Proverbs 24:3-6 NIV
Many are in existential war. War is about tactics, strategy. Only the wise and knowledgeable win a war. Yes, we are in hard times.
To win the war over hard times, you must parade a superior war chest of knowledge. There is a victory bridge everyone needs in order to cross the hardship river. It is called the KWU BRIDGE (pronounced “Que”). KWU is an acronym for Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding. Knowledge is the stepping stone to wisdom and understanding.
The heart of those who have understanding crave for knowledge (Proverbs 15:14). The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge (Proverbs 18:15). Through wisdom is a house built. By understanding it is established. By knowledge, the chambers are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increases strength, (Proverbs 24:3-5). He who has knowledge spares his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. (Proverbs 17:27). Go for knowledge and the right knowledge if you must win this hardship war.
