What do you desire to posses the most? In some people’s case, it’s to have the latest automobile. In others, it’s to have the latest computer, or mobile phone. Yet others, is to have their own house, or better kitchen.
All of us want something, and it is usually material. We don’t usually pursue something that is not material, like knowledge, respect, and in this case, wisdom. It is easier to get a car, than to get the respect from our friends, and sometimes, our own family. With a car, you work, and you get money, and then, you can purchase a car. But to get respect, it takes effort.
Wisdom works in the same way. You cannot buy wisdom. I have a friend who has attended the best apologetics conferences, and mingled with the best apologists of our time, yet, he can’t do apologetics. Wisdom does not grow on us by osmosis, but we have to learn it through observation, experience and application.
True wisdom does not puff us up. Wisdom itself guides us not to impose any knowledge on others, rather, to impart our “wisdom” on others. Let’s seek wisdom, Godly wisdom from God’s Word.
