When Knowledge Explodes, but Wisdom Lags
Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV)
“‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
Human knowledge has exploded at an unprecedented pace. For centuries, knowledge doubled slowly. Today, information multiplies in months, sometimes weeks. We can access answers instantly, communicate globally, and innovate rapidly. Yet wisdom has not kept pace. Anxiety, confusion, and brokenness still dominate the human condition. Knowledge alone cannot heal the soul.
God never intended knowledge to replace dependence. The Tower of Babel stands as an ancient warning. Humanity united in brilliance but divided in humility. They sought progress without presence. God intervened not because progress is evil, but because pride is destructive. Knowledge without submission always leads to collapse.
Zechariah reminds us that true advancement comes by the Spirit. Might and power refer to human resources and influence. The Spirit refers to God’s active presence. When the Spirit is absent, progress becomes hollow. When the Spirit is present, even small obedience produces eternal fruit.
Fasting realigns our hunger. It shifts our appetite from information to transformation. We do not need more data. We need divine direction. The Spirit of God does what no algorithm ever could. He convicts, restores, empowers, and leads us into truth.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, we acknowledge our need for You. Guard us from trusting knowledge more than wisdom. As we fast, increase our sensitivity to Your voice and align our lives with Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
