Wisdom comes from learning and experience. I trust the wisdom I have gained because I put it to the test every day.

Answer 2

Wisdom, The quality of being,wise,having good judgement, Learning, knowledge,The best wisdom that has helped me through my life is the wisdom, of learning right from wrong, First, Wisdom cant be found, you have to grow,in wisdom,Each step of your life's walks,is where you get wisdom,Wisdom is of great value, to your life,But everyone wisdom, is different, some are close and some are very far fetched from others, My wisdom started in my home with my parents, I was taught the wisdom of what was right for me to do, say,I was taught what I was not to do, or say, meaning right, from wrong.I also went through things that I new was wrong, and I had to not hate through them but was taught to forgive and forget, And to learn from them instead, And the wisdom of the words of the Bible, was my best guidance, of wisdom...My source of wisdom has never let me down, that is why, It scares me to know that a big huge percentage of this next generation has little wisdom, and is very very easily lead, And made to believe anything,,,The lord tells you to show your own wisdom, and not to copy anyone else,s wisdom...to use your own...That is how you are defined as to who you are and who you come from...I am a person of great wisdom...Because my Father was of great wisdom...and full of great knowledge, And He taught me to fill for all others, And to not judge people for things but to always stand up for what is right and not to stand for the things that are wrong of this world no matter what, And to be wise of the wrong of the world..With out wisdom one is lost in this world..God bless you, and the USA and Israel and all

Answer 3

“But where can wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?

13 Man does not know its value,
Nor is it found in the land of the living.

14 The deep says, ‘It is not in me’;
And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’

15 It cannot be purchased for gold,
Nor can silver be weighed for its price.

16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
In precious onyx or sapphire.

17 Neither gold nor crystal can equal it,
Nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold.

18 No mention shall be made of coral or quartz,
For the price of wisdom is above rubies.

19 The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it,
Nor can it be valued in pure gold.

20 “From where then does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?

21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living,
And concealed from the birds of the air.

22 Destruction and Death say,

‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’

23 God understands its way,
And He knows its place.

24 For He looks to the ends of the earth,
And sees under the whole heavens,

25 To establish a weight for the wind,
And apportion the waters by measure.

26 When He made a law for the rain,
And a path for the thunderbolt,

27 Then He saw wisdom[b] and declared it;
He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out.

28 And to man He said,

‘ Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
And to depart from evil is understanding.’”

Answer 8

It is one of the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit. The others are understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspiration.
Thus the Psalmist is able to pray, "Let your good spirit lead me on a level path" (Psalm 143,10).
The fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us. The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them: "charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity."
Peace and every blessing!
