Defining Widsom

Wisdom means practical discernment - or the ability to almost supernaturally know the truth about a situation - in such a way as to be able to draw right conclusions and formulate right responses. It is said that true wisdom comes from God. That is the fact. Because some circumstances require that supernatural leading of the Holy Spirit for there to be any wisdom at all.

Wisdom then begins with respect for God. It leads to right living (God's way) and results in the increased ability to tell right from wrong. But we will be unable to receive this wisdom from God if our goals are self-centered ... or if we aren't listening to Him. Want wisdom? Examine the level of respect you really show towards God.
