Reflection
True wisdom is not simply about being intelligent, educated, or experienced. According to this verse, skilled living begins when we recognize God for who He is and give Him the honor and reverence He deserves. The more we know God, the more clearly we begin to understand ourselves, our purpose, and the world around us. Wisdom grows when we stop trying to navigate life without Him.
