Jehovah himself gives wisdom.—Prov. 2:6.

 

If you have ever had to make an important decision, no doubt you prayed for wisdom—and for good reason. (Jas. 1:5) King Solomon wrote: “Wisdom is the most important thing.” (Prov. 4:7) Of course, Solomon was not talking about just any sort of wisdom. He was referring to the wisdom that comes from Jehovah God. But can godly wisdom help us deal with the kinds of problems we face today? Yes, it can. One way that we can become truly wise is by studying and applying the teachings of two men who are widely respected for their wisdom. First, consider Solomon. The Bible says that “God gave Solomon wisdom and discernment in very great measure.” (1 Ki. 4:29) Second, consider Jesus, whose wisdom was unparalleled. (Matt. 12:42) Of Jesus, it was prophesied: “The spirit of Jehovah will settle upon him, the spirit of wisdom and of understanding.”—Isa. 11:2. w22.05 20 ¶1-2
