It is by the wisdom taught directly to us by God's Holy Spirit of Truth, that we are able to overcome the world.
By knowledge we can recognize a problem.
By understanding we can be aware of the pain others feel because of the problem.
By wisdom we can overcome and solve the problem.
There are many who have enough knowledge to recognize and be aware of the world's problems.
There are some who have the understanding to sympathize with the pain and suffering of the victims of the world's problems.
But, there are very few who have the wisdom to solve the world's problems.
A man of wisdom then is a great treasure in any generation.
