The Bible often tells us to seek wisdom. It tells us that wisdom is the most important thing. It tells us to “get wisdom,” to pursue it (Prov. 4:8). But what is wisdom?
This is indeed a difficult question to answer. There is no one set answer to this question. In fact, there is a whole area of philosophy and psychology trying to seek an answer to this question.
I’ve spent my life pursuing wisdom. I’ve studied a lot of the literature on the subject. So I can tell you from my own study and experience what I believe wisdom is. But this is just my opinion.
“Wisdom is seeing the whole or a part of reality from God’s perspective, thus giving one self-knowledge and insight into the true nature reality and how to flourish in it.”
Hermits don’t like to talk about themselves, but I suppose you want to know a little about me.
I became a Christian in 1983, attended Bible school, and eventually earned a Doctorate in Ministry. I served as a Protestant minister for 27 years and also spent about a decade practicing Buddhism.
In 2005, I was baptized into the Catholic Church, but have since joined the Episcopal Church. I live in the desert southwest of the United States with my wife and cat.
