"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." -- James 1:5

Wisdom is found when we realize our ignorance and when we have more questions than answers.  It's very different from knowledge, which is about storing facts and data.  Wisdom sees beyond the data.  It concerns itself less with the answer than it does the question.  As we become more and more inundated with facts, figures, and forecasts, it's important for us to be wise and discerning and examine the roots and motives of it all.  Seek to be wise.  It's the smart thing to do.
