Wisdom is a peculiar thing. Not many young people are wise people. Not every old person is a wise person.
Wisdom is an odd thing. By making the right decisions I can learn and become wise. But, I can also learn and become wise from bad decisions.
Wisdom is a necessary thing. The intentional pursuit of wisdom makes it possible for me understand respect for the Lord. The intentional pursuit of wisdom reveals that I know God.
Wisdom, according to Solomon, is a gift God gives along with knowledge and understanding.
I especially like the way Proverbs 2:10 reads in the Spanish NIV. It says:
"Wisdom will come to your heart and knowledge will sweeten your life."
Now, more than ever, I could use heavenly wisdom and the kind of knowledge that leaves a sweet taste.
