There are some who think they are wise and love to tell people. They inject their thoughts on every situation, whether people ask for their opinion or not. They always seem to “know” exactly what to do and they like other people to know it.
Humble Wisdom
There’s another word associated with true wisdom. That word is humility. This describes people who live their lives wisely, making wise decisions and treating people with love and honor. They don’t make a big deal about it and you may not realize how wise they are at first.
These aren’t the people who necessarily speak up first. However, you find that people who have known them for a while seek out their thoughts on matters.
Quiet Wisdom that Brings Honor
The reality is that usually, the more someone feels the need to convince people he is wise, the more of a fool he truly is. People who are truly wise, don’t have to tell people. It’s apparent in their lives. They seek the Lord and love and honor others in humility. In doing so, they gain the honor the fool seeks, though they would never seek that honor.
Who do you know who is truly and humbly wise?
Are you?
You can be. God promises us,
