Wisdom

Where comes wisdom?
And where is the place of understanding? (Job 28:20)
This was an answer JOB was seeking to find.
And also a question on many people's mind.
Is it inherited, developed or simply a gift?
Is it only the ability to make good calls & avoid rift?
Is it simply out-smarting the other person?
Or devising evil to teach offenders a lesson?


Wisdom is the practical application of knowledge,
It is the principal thing in life (Prov. 4:7)
You grow and develop in it, even Jesus had to, (Luke 2:52),
In order to be able to rightly preach the kingdom.
Knowledge tells you fire consumes anything it contacts,
Wisdom tells you not to put your hands into it.
Wisdom is a tree of life to those who have it (Prov. 3:18)
And a crown of glory to them that seek it (Prov. 4:9)


Wisdom isn't hiding as it often portrayed,
It cries on the streets and public places seeking people (Prov. 1:20).
Wisdom is given by God (Prov. 2:6),
And whoever lacks wisdom should ask from God (James 1:5).
Wisdom is always profitable to direct (Ecc. 10:10),
It requires less strength and struggles to that effect.
Whoever walks with the wise would get wise (Prov. 3:20),
Remember Jesus in the temple with the doctors, teachers and the wise.


The answer is easier than what you had expected,
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (Prov. 1:7)
And wisdom is the fear of God (Job 28:28)
It's so ironic that wisdom seeks man,
Yet man still goes around in search for wisdom.
The following is what God's wisdom displays (James 3:17)
Purity, Gentility, Impartiality, Peace, Mercy, Approachability.
Here is the true wisdom we should get.
