Wisdom
Proverbs 2:11-12
Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse.
Two Kinds of Wisdom
James 3:13-18
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

"Knowledge is horizontal. Wisdom is vertical - it comes down from above." - Billy Graham
History is replete with learned men who steadfastly refused to acknowledge the Creator of knowledge and therefore lacked wisdom. Perhaps you know someone who is intelligent yet lacks wisdom. That's because true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, not the knowledge of man, and consists of understanding what God's Word has to say about every aspect of life. Every day you follow God's plan makes you even wiser.
Some are literal and intelligent.
Others are proverbial and wise
and both are part of God Almighty's creation.
My family and I and Jesus Christ equals triumphal victory.
