The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. Proverbs 15:33 New International Version
To fear the Lord in this context means to respect the Lord.
When we respect the Lord He will bless us with wisdom.
The difference between knowledge and wisdom is that knowledge teaches you something while wisdom teaches you how to use knowledge to improve you life.
For example: you know the speed limit and if you go over it you could get a ticket. Wisdom is where you do not go over the speed limit and will not face punishment.
Humility is when you are not proud or arrogant.
Then you are teachable and capable of putting your knowledge into action.
When this happens you will receive your due honor, if not from man, certainly from Jehovah.
Respect for our Heavenly Beloved brings us honor in Heaven Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Chanan (God of grace) guide me to always be humbly respectful of Your awesome majesty. May You bless me with Your infinite wisdom so as to be an honorable child of Yours. I sincerely request this in the most honorable name Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ precious love bless you today and every day.

What you say is so true! My favorite saying for knowledge verses wisdom is: Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad 🙂
