What is Wisdom?
What Is Wisdom

I am interested in peoples thoughts on Wisdom. What is Wisdom?

The Word (especially the book of Proverbs) seems to personify "her" and we are told to exalt her:
Proverbs 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

We are instructed to love her:
Proverbs 8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

These and other passages seem to attribute power and rewards (blessings) to those that seek Wisdom.

In light of this, what is Wisdom?

Wisdom is staying away from the "Apostolic.com- No room for 1 steppers" thread.
