I struggle a bit to understand what 'wisdom' is biblically - it's more than head knowledge and it's more than just what you learn from experience. For the Christian it's obviously linked to our relationship with God, our knowledge and application of His Word and what we gain from being in a healthy prayerful church community. I've known some people who I would describe as wise and they seemed to have a mix of maturity, discernment, and depth with God - anyone want to venture a definition of wisdom?
This points to the limitations of posting chapter excerpts. More on this will be coming in future weeks. But I’m eager to hear responses to this question in the meantime
“Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,”
