In this age of information overload, we are drowning in a flood of superficial knowledge that often amounts to intellectual fast food, full of useless mental fat. Wisdom, however, is slower, deeper, lasting, and more elusive. It requires us to clear out the data smog in our lives, to fast from the constant barrage of TV, computers, and cell phones, and to take time to pray, study, meditate, and listen for the way of God. Without standing still long enough to acquire it, we cannot receive wisdom, for we are carried along by the rapid, loud, and numbing current of this information age. Wisdom, in its essence, is a comprehensive knowledge of things in their proper nature and relations, combined with the power to use them effectively. It is the ability to judge correctly and follow the best course of action based on understanding. Unlike the philosophical fluff of worldly knowledge, which relies on human reasoning and pride, true wisdom is practical and grounded in humility before God. It is not about abstract ideas or intellectual thought but about what to do day by day, moving beyond beliefs to behavior and beyond the physical to the spiritual. The wisdom of this world, based on intuition and experience without divine revelation, has severe limitations and often leads to spiritual foolishness. It stands in sharp contrast to the wisdom from above, which is a divine gift, manifesting in the selection of proper ends and means for their accomplishment. This divine wisdom is dynamic, producing fruit that the world cannot comprehend, and it requires a repentant heart and a humble mind to receive. While the world's educated may despise it, its success confounds and perplexes them, revealing a power they cannot account for. True wisdom, therefore, is not found in the systems of human philosophy but in the practical application of God's ways in daily life.
