There are two types of wisdom:
1. Earthly wisdom - man's wisdom. His own reasoning & the things he thinks up. This wisdom is fleeting. It won't last for it only applies to this life. Sometimes this wisdom isn't true wisdom at all, for it is flawed or selfishly ambitious wisdom.
2. Godly wisdom. This God-given wisdom comes to us through Scripture, through an intimate relationship with God, and through His Holy Spirit. This wisdom lasts, for it is eternal. It will guide us through this life and beyond into eternity.
Any man can gain worldly wisdom - all it takes is a desire to learn (& a nice hefty college loan), but to gain godly wisdom, one must seek a relationship with God and an understanding of the working of the Holy Spirit. Those without the Holy Spirit cannot understand God's Truth. It's like they are walking around with blinders on, spouting off their own truth without ever coming into a full knowledge of Truth.
Paul says to seek godly wisdom. After all, if He is the one who made the universe & all that is in it - wouldn't He be the one to really know what's going on?
