Wisdom

There are several ways to grow in wisdom, and there are even different kinds of wisdom.

However, the best way to get wisdom in our lives is to ask God, to read His Word, and to begin

applying it to our lives. God is the best teacher! Not only does He know all things, but He knows

how to speak to each of us in a way that we can understand. There are different words used

in the Bible for wisdom. In the Old Testament we see the Hebrew word “hakma” which relates

wisdom to skill and ability in war. In the New Testament, the Greek word “sophia” conveys broad

intelligence in diverse matters. Clearly, wisdom is a great thing to have. The book of Proverbs

tells us that if we pay attention to God’s Word, thinking on it and applying its instruction, then

wisdom will grow in our lives
