Wisdom From Above
In our culture, wisdom is typically viewed as something that is elusive and even mystical. Most believe wisdom is gained through much experience. Others think that only a select few are gifted with wisdom. The biblical view of wisdom, however, is that wisdom has existed from the beginning of creation, and that God makes wisdom available to all who seek it. James, the brother of Jesus, is clear that there are two sources of wisdom...one is worldly and the other is from our heavenly Father. Jesus Christ embodies God's wisdom in human form because he is the power of God and the wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 1:24). The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. (Proverbs 9:10).
