“I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment. I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.” (Proverbs 8:12 NLT)
Wisdom has many relatives: Intelligence, Knowledge, Good Judgment, Discernment, Insight, and Intuition. They resemble each other, but they are not the same. Each one of them is valuable, but together they are of transcendent worth.
Intelligence has the ability to analyze, process, comprehend, and retain information. Knowledge has subject specific proficiency that he obtained through diligence and hard work. Good Judgment knows how to apply what she has learned from experience--from failures and successes. Discernment is aware that he doesn’t understand everything. He seeks good advisors. He can perceive who is trustworthy. Wisdom is the matriarch of the family. She has a deep understanding of the physical and the metaphysical. She knows what is essential, virtuous, meaningful, and eternal.
