All the knowledge and wisdom that mankind possesses today will be dwarfed by what we will know in the future. This is good, but it brings into perspective why we can’t depend on our knowledge alone. God possesses all knowledge and wisdom and even when we come to know all we are able to discern, his knowledge will still be infinitely greater. So, upon whose knowledge are we going to depend..who will we trust? Let us all place our heart and mind on God each day and become an open vessel for his wisdom, love and knowledge and we will become pure in heart.
Trusting Him,

Insufficiency of Knowledge
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23).
Most people, and learned people especially, have all kinds of knowledge that does not in the least affect or improve their practical lives. Doctors know all about hygiene, but often live in an unhealthy way, notwithstanding; and philosophers, who are acquainted with the accumulated wisdom of the ages, and assent to most of it, continue to do foolish and stupid things in their own personal lives. Now, knowledge such as this is only opinion, or head knowledge, as some people call it. It has to become heart knowledge, or to be incorporated into the subconscious, before it can really change one. The modern psychologists in their efforts to “re-educate the subconscious” have the right idea, though they have not yet discovered the true method of doing so, which is by single-minded prayer, or the Practice of the Presence of God.
Jesus, of course, thoroughly understood all this, and that is why he stresses the fact that we have to be pure in heart.
