Good Morning!
The wise will hear and increase their learning, and the person of understanding will acquire wise counsel and the skill [to steer his course wisely and lead others to the truth]. -Proverbs 1:5
As we grow in our faith we realize that we are in a position of constant improvement. No matter how wise we are in Christ, there is always more wisdom to be gained from Him. Wisdom is gained from God, for God is wisdom and truth, but it is often realized, or evident that we have it, in sharing it with others. Wisdom is absorbed when we are open to counsel through prayer and from other Christians. God ways are so awesome and way above what anyone can comprehend and the fact that He continually allows us to grow and gain wisdom is proof that He wants what is best for us. In the world where people separate themselves from God it is evident that wisdom is lacking, there may still be smart people because like so many other things, God allows the non-believers to benefit from His blessings as well, but true wisdom is lacking because true wisdom can only come from God.
“As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.” -R.C. Sproul
“The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end.” -John Bunyan
