Someone posted something in another thread that I don't want to derail so I'm making this one for everyone.
That's sounds like a good start to me, but now we should talk about what is right and how we can know something is right.
There's a problem with this though. You say wisdom is knowing what is right and doing it. If we place hope in God, who we say both is wise and acts wise, we have faith in God's wisdom; we have faith in the wisdom of something not belonging strictly to ourselves.
But God's wisdom then eludes us and we do not have God's wisdom, but faith in it being. Then what wisdom do we have? If it is wise to have faith in another's wisdom, then by definition we have to know that it is right to do so. How do we know that it is right to have faith in another's wisdom? How do we know that it is right to have faith in God's wisdom?
Wisdom is knowing what is right and doing it. God does all things according to wisdom, and those who place their hope in him are wise.
