For the Bible, wisdom is not just knowing a lot; it is living well before God. It begins with the fear of the Lord, is asked for in prayer, and shows in trusting him more than our own understanding.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Wisdom is something you ask for — and God gives generously, without shaming the one who asks.
