Noah Websters 1828; American Dictionary of the English Language, defines Wisdom 1. The right use or exercise of knowledge; the choice of laudable ends, and of the best means to accomplish them.   This is Wisdom in act, effect, or practice.   If Wisdom is to be considered as a faculty of the mind, it is the faculty of discerning or judging what is most just, proper, and useful, and if is to be considered as an acquirement, it is the knowledge and use of what is best, most just, most proper, most conducive to prosperity or happiness.   Wisdom in the first sense, or practical Wisdom, is nearly synonymous with discretion.   It differs somewhat from prudence, in this respect; prudence is the exercise of sound judgment in avoiding evils; Wisdom is the exercise of sound judgment either in avoiding evils or attempting good.   Prudence then is a species, of which Wisdom is the genus.  Ex.  “Wisdom gained by experience, is of inestimable value “. Scott.    “It is hoped that our rulers will act with dignity and wisdom; that they will yield every thing to reason, and refuse every thing to force “. Ames.

5. In Scripture theology, wisdom is true religion; godliness; piety; the knowledge of God, and sincere and uniform obedience to His commands. This is the Wisdom which is from above. Ps. xc, Job xxviii. (NW1828:ADof the EL defines~ Theology: Divinity; the science of God and divine things; or the science which teaches the existence, character and attributes of God, His laws and government, the doctrines we are to believe, and duties we are to practice. Theology consists of two branches, natural and revealed. Natural theology is the knowledge we have of God from His Works, by the Light of nature and reason. Revealed theology is that which is to be learned only from revelation.)(Science 1. In a general sense, knowledge, or certain knowledge; the comprehension or understanding of Truth or facts by the mind. Ex. The science of God must be perfect.)(Heart 3. The chief part; the vital part; the vigorous or efficacious part. Bacon. 4. The seat of the affections and passions, as of love, joy, grief, enmity, courage, pleasure, & c. Ex. The heart is deceitful above all things. Every imagination of the thoughts of the heart is evil continually. We read of an honest and good heart, and an evil heart of unbelief, a willing heart, a heavy heart, sorrow of heart, a hard heart, a proud heart, a pure heart. The heart faints in adversity, or under discouragement, that is, courage fails; the heart is deceived, enlarged, reproved, lifted up,fixed, established, moved &c. Scripture. (While there appears to be controversial aspects, as contradictions implied as to the nature and purpose of the heart; one must understand the difference between the natural man and the regenerated man, as in the born again man, having left the natural man behind; as the two states are incompatible. M. of A. N. , the Pearldropper)

6.  Profitable words or doctrine.  Ps.37  The wisdom of this world, mere human erudition; or the carnal policy of men, their craft and artifices in promoting their temporal interests; called also fleshly wisdom.  1Cor.2, 2Cor.1. The wisdom of words, artificial or affected eloquence; or learning displayed in teaching.  1Cor. 1&2

I have come to know a man; whom I count as a friend, though as of yet we have found little time to share together, though we agree that we both desire to be better connected♡   In conversation he has said that he perceives me to be wise; well, Beauty, as well as wisdom, is in the eye of the beholder; the one whose eye of attention allows him to truly perceive what he is beholding, which remains a mystery from the world’s perspective ♡   Because, the world’s perspective comes from the limited ability to see only from a narrow focus of attention, as in, it can’t see the forest for the trees, being content to miss the big picture, as though it is irrelevant ♡   One example of worldly wisdom thinking: would be, first, define the object of my desire, second, focus on seeking it out, third, do whatever it takes to aquire the object and forth, enjoy the pleasure of having obtained, however superficial and temporary the pleasure remains, and fifth, define the object of my next desire, ect. ect., and ect.; without bothering to count the cost of a worldly wisdom approach ●
