What is Wisdom

     Wisdom, such a different word and so is its meaning.  So do you know what wisdom mean?  Well I can tell you one thing, it is NOT knowledge.  Wisdom is the "ability to judge correctly and to follow the best course of action, based on knowledge and understanding"   You see yes knowledge does have a part in it, but the smartest person in the world could not have wisdom.  Also many people say wisdom comes with age, but it really doesn't!  You could be sixty years old and not have wisdom.  Proverbs 1:7 says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but fools despise wisdom and discipline."
     You could be ten years old and be wiser than a twenty year old.  The only reason why older people seem to be smarter is because they have been in this world longer than you and have learned lessons.  But you can learn from someones lessons,  you can learn the history of other people so you won't make their mistakes.  That is why it is good to learn history also.  A good place to learn about wisdom is in the book of Proverbs it is full of it you can't miss it.  Try to read your Bible everyday you can learn from the mistakes in the Bible and you can get closer to God.
