Worldly wisdom is something you can learn on your own through life experience. Spiritual wisdom is controlled by God. He gave everyone the key to this wisdom in His Word. It is up to us on if we utilize it. Then there is some wisdom that God gives to people because they need it to serve a purpose. That wisdom is His to give as He sees fit. Solomon provided 31 proverbs on the subject since he was one the privy to this incredible wisdom.
When we give God our heart, then the Holy Spirit lives inside to guide us and give us internal wisdom. We often think our way of doing things is right or the best way, but we have limited resources to direct us. God cares about what is best for you, but everyone around you too. He sees the big picture, so when He tells you to change direction it is what is right. It is the best way.
God's wisdom will direct you to do what is just and right. His goal is to remove all pride that leads to sin from our hearts. We need to be diligent in searching for what is good in this life or everything that is wrong will overwhelm us. The wicked will refuse to follow His wisdom and be devious while claiming to be upright and innocent. It takes God's controlled wisdom to figure this out at times. The wise listen and grow in understanding.
Justice brings joy to the righteous, but terror to the wicked. Pursue righteousness and love in all that you do and it will help you live a prosperous life. Guard your tongue to avoid calamity. The righteous are overly generous. They do not hoard. Uncontrolled anger and lies lead us to perish and destroy all that follow. The upright think before acting, so that God will be in control. Give God this control leads to wisdom, insight, and success. It also gives God the victory. It is our job to be prepared.
Proverbs 21
