Wisdom

We all work so hard for wisdom. Wisdom can be defined as the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting, it is insight. Wisdom comes through being humble. Wisdom comes through not acting like we know the answers to everything. Wisdom is making ourselves the humble servant of our Master.

Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Here's what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It's the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts. Mean-spirited ambition isn't wisdom. Boasting that you are wise isn't wisdom. Twisting the truth to make yourselves sound wise isn't wisdom. It's the furthest thing from wisdom—it's animal cunning, devilish conniving. Whenever you're trying to look better than others or get the better of others, things fall apart and everyone ends up at the others' throats.

James 3:13-14

Wisdom is actually the act of humbling ourselves and not being right, but being kind. Wisdom is knowing that living life has nothing to do with what you say, but the way that you live and act. To push our way to the top, to make others think we know more than we do, and to boast about what we do know is not wisdom. Think about the way that Jesus lived and taught us to live. He was humble always giving way to the people around him, never pushing himself on anyone. Jesus lived a life that was an example for us to follow in the way of wisdom. Even at the moment that he could have proved who is was - he hung on the cross and said "forgive them for they do not know what they are doing." What wisdom!
