Wisdom

For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2: 6

Much is said about wisdom, but what is wisdom and what does it mean to have wisdom? First, we will define wisdom, according to https://www.wordreference.com:

Wisdom – It is the deep knowledge that is acquired through study or experience. It is also the Prudence, careful behavior and mode of conduct in life.

Now, when we read the Proverbs (Bible), wisdom begins from a fundamental principle “The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord” (Proverbs 1: 7). Another key that gives us the book of Proverbs is that when someone possesses wisdom is because s/he follows the instruction of his father, and not despise the direction of his/her mother. A person with wisdom departs from sinners who want to deceive and destroy the innocent. A wise person guards the paths of judgment and preserves the path of righteousness. S/he is a fair person has equity and discretion. Also, a person with wisdom respects the law and keeps the commandments. Moreover, mercy and truth never depart from them. But, above all, a person who fulfills all the implications of a person with wisdom will have peace and above all, a long life.

We have enjoyed the wisdom and very few recognize that they have it. Sometimes we think of intelligence, but wisdom goes beyond human intelligence. Wisdom has profound implications and high responsibility. People who do justice and who do not give up before the temptations that the world offers. People who love their freedom and want the peace of the world and who respond to the needs but, above all, that the love of God has always been present in their lives.
