Proverbs 23:19 "Hear, My son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the right way."
Wisdom is much more than knowledge—it is character. In fact, someone can be smart, clever and insightful, but without character there is an absence of authentic wisdom.
The wise are pure in motive and peace loving in relationships. They defer to the needs of others, submit to authority, initiate empathy, bear the fruit of the Spirit, gather all the facts before making a decision and are genuine in their concerns. Wisdom and character are prayer partners in their faith journey.
Godly wisdom is keenly aware of the need to be consistent in its character. Our persuasive speech falls on
deaf ears when it does not have the backing of being a person of honesty and honor.
Wisdom gives you the platform to influence others into a relationship with Jesus. Thus, keep your character submitted to the character of Christ and you will remain wise.
