What is wisdom?


This past week we talked about what is wisdom. In the bible we read about earthly wisdom and Godly wisdom. It seems a bit confusing. Earthly wisdom says "be prepared" Godly wisdom says "have faith." Earthly wisdom says "be strong" Godly wisdom says "make sacrifices."

Godly wisdom seems to go in the face of what we recognize on earth to be wise. Why is this? What is it about the spiritual realm that changes the nature of wisdom. Does Godly wisdom apply to earthly affairs or only spiritual ones? How do we discern what is wise to do in a given situation?
