The dictionary defines wisdom as the quality or state of being wise.

My definition of wisdom is having a lot to say and not saying it.

In Psalm 111:10, we find that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. In Proverbs 1:7, we find almost the same thing: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

We must take the first step and recognize God, as a source of wisdom and to obey His laws is the path to wisdom.
