Be careful not to confuse wisdom with intelligence and engaging speech. Those who are truly wise will stay quiet just as often as they speak words of advice. Watch the actions of those you admire. Do their actions match their words? Wisdom given by God may not be as flashy and attention-seeking as those deemed wise by the world. Look back to the Bible for examples of God’s wisdom. Many wise biblical characters were not given any accolades, but were instead rejected by their peers. Look carefully for God-given wisdom in your life, it may not come from the source you expect.
