What should we do when we need wisdom? Here is a little peak at my guest post for Rock Solid Faith about 30 different bible verses about wisdom.
When we desire wisdom, we desire something truly valuable. Many scriptures throughout the Bible speak very highly about wisdom. In the book of Proverbs, wisdom is personified and she speaks as a woman.
When we don’t know what to do in a particular situation, it’s time to consult Wisdom. A successful life is one that considers her guidance. We live in peace when we listen to her. The scriptures on wisdom in this article were curated to help you grow in understanding, and improve your decision-making.
What is Wisdom According to the Bible?
Wisdom can be defined as the application of knowledge. It is a gift from God that is granted when a believer asks for it. James 1:5 tells us that if we lack wisdom we can ask God who gives generously.
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. James 1:5 NLT
Wisdom is understanding and prudence. It guides our discernment and helps us to use discretion.

What Does Proverbs Teach About Wisdom?
The Bible says that wisdom is more valuable than gold or jewels. This says a lot about how much wisdom is worth!
The book of Proverbs is known as the Book of Wisdom. Throughout the book, wise words and instructions offer guidance for many aspects of life. We benefit when we take heed to every bit of wisdom the Bible offers. The book of Proverbs is the best place to start!
The first chapter in Proverbs sets the stage with a father’s exhortation to acquire wisdom. Then, Wisdom herself shouts in the streets with an invitation to listen to her counsel.
She warns the simpleminded and those who reject her that trouble, disaster, distress, and even death await them. Those who seek wisdom will live safely and in peace.
Throughout the remaining thirty chapters of Proverbs, we learn the benefits of wisdom and the consequences of folly. King Solomon’s proverbs teach us how to make wise decisions and they offer advice that we can apply to our daily lives.
