    Wisdom come from experience, and experience comes from the lack thereof.

    Yes, I possess wisdom as I have a healthy fear, or reverence, of God which is the beginning of wisdom according to scripture. I have obtained a level of wisdom through the study of scripture and many mistakes (some I’ve learned from and some I will most likely repeat until I gain that particular nugget the Lord wants me to learn in this life). I understand wisdom to be the appropriate application or sharing of knowledge. For example, knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting tomatoes in a fruit salad.

    SureYnot nailed it, dead center.

    Wisdom comes from all the times you should have chosen a wiser path and did not.
    Trick is to remember it.

    We learn from our mistakes.

    I like to learn wisdom from other people and history. Especially older folks, most seem very wise because they have most likely did or tried what your about to do, either succeed or failed. Also reading through the Bible you will find a vast amount of wisdom, if you will just adhere to it.

    It's one thing that God promised to give us if we ask. God, Father, Grant me wisdom. Amen.

    Wisdom is different than experience.
    But, more times than not, experience will give you wisdom.
    If you have had an experience in a certain area of life, and you haven't gained at least some wisdom from it, then you are forever stuck in stupid.
    Political correctness is a national suicide pact.

    I am a sovereign individual, accountable
    only to God and my own conscience.

    Solomon, son of David by Bathsheba, was given wisdom to guide God’s people when given that choice.

    Solomon.... becuse he was concerned for his people more then himself
    when the dust settles and the smoke clears all that matters is I hear the words " well done my good and faithfully servant "

    Proverbs as a younger man, but I've always found Ecclesiastes insightful coming from the end days of the old wise king. Ecc 12:13-14 sums it all up. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

    This is the ultimate wisdom.

    Thank you for all your answers . Solomon was given great wisdom , GOD gave him wealth , a great kingdom . Ones seeking wisdom and answers to great questions traveled to ask them of him seeking knowledge . The queen of Sheba traveled a thousand miles from the south and came seeking answers to many question which Solomon gave to her satisfaction . But with all the wisdom and gifts of GOD when he grew old he built alters to false gods for his foreign wives and worshiped at them . Solomon failed GOD .

    Our bible contains biblical wisdom , The book of Proverbs , the Psalms , the book of James is a guide to right and instruction for correcting sin . The parables of Christ in teaching , the answers to those who made him suffer and killed him . Every page of your bible contains wisdom given to you if you seek it and use it .

    Our Lord is with us , he came to teach us , to save us , to be an example . He is not just with us or around us he is literally within us if we allow . His Holy Spirit is there to guide us through this fallen world . Our Lord Jesus Christ wants us with him ….he wants us to succeed . He tried so hard until death to save us . Through his coming , his persecution , death and resurrection we are given life eternal .

    Proverbs 2;6

    For the Lord gives wisdom;
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

    As we mature in our faith we are suppose to seek a deeper relationship with our Lord . The biggest tell tale sign of a false profit or church is them saying ;
    ''Listen to me , listen to this church only ! Do not seek GOD on your own ! Do not study the scripture on your own ! We will tell you what to think and do ! I/WE have all the anwsers you seek !''

    Proverbs 2

    My son, if you receive my words,
    And treasure my commands within you,
    2
    So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
    And apply your heart to understanding;
    3
    Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
    And lift up your voice for understanding,
    4
    If you seek her as silver,
    And search for her as for hidden treasures;
    5
    Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
    And find the knowledge of God.
    6
    For the Lord gives wisdom;
    From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
    7
    He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
    He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
    8
    He guards the paths of justice,
    And preserves the way of His saints.
    9
    Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
    Equity and every good path.

    10
    When wisdom enters your heart,
    And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
    11
    Discretion will preserve you;
    Understanding will keep you,
    12
    To deliver you from the way of evil,
    From the man who speaks perverse things,
    13
    From those who leave the paths of uprightness
    To walk in the ways of darkness;
    14
    Who rejoice in doing evil,
    And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
    15
    Whose ways are crooked,
    And who are devious in their paths;
    16
    To deliver you from the immoral woman,
    From the seductress who flatters with her words,
    17
    Who forsakes the companion of her youth,
    And forgets the covenant of her God.
    18
    For her house leads down to death,
    And her paths to the dead;
    19
    None who go to her return,
    Nor do they regain the paths of life—
    20
    So you may walk in the way of goodness,
    And keep to the paths of righteousness.
    21
    For the upright will dwell in the land,
    And the blameless will remain in it;
    22
    But the wicked will be cut off from the earth,
    And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.
    No turning back , No turning back !
