My name is Marcus Mack. I'm a vicar in the Church of England

What do you think is one necessary ingredient to a happy life
0:13
This may be surprising, but according to the Bible, wisdom is a key ingredient
0:19
A verse in a book in the Bible called Proverbs tells us
0:23
Happy are those who find wisdom. Without wisdom, our lives can become one car crash after another
0:31
as one disastrous decision follows another. But what is it? According to the Bible, wisdom is different to knowledge
0:40
Knowledge is the acquisition of information that can be gathered and memorised over time
0:47
Wisdom, on the other hand, is knowing how to use that knowledge properly
0:52
For example, we may know what a man or woman is, but it takes wisdom to know which man or woman to marry
1:02
We may know how to fix a car, but it takes wisdom to know how to drive safely on the road without crashing it
1:10
We may know how much money is in a bank account, but it takes wisdom to know how to use it properly
1:17
It is entirely possible to be a highly educated, gifted individual and be very unwise and deeply unhappy
1:27
because every decision leads to more trouble and grief. It takes effort to seek wisdom out, but once found, happy are those who find it, for it is more precious than gold
