KNOWLEDGE

The gift of knowledge is the ability to have an in-depth understanding of issues or situations. 

It enables the soul to evaluate created things in their true worth in relation to the Creator. Proverbs 1:7 says to have knowledge, you must have reverence for the Lord and Proverbs 2:6 says it is from the Lord that knowledge comes.

Knowledge unmasks the pretence of creatures, revealing their emptiness; it points out their only true purpose as instruments in the service of God.

It further shows us the loving care of God even in adversity, and directs us to glorify him in every circumstance of life. 

Knowledge is a foundation of life to him that possesses it.
