Caleb Henderson external reading #2

I was reading a portion of James 1 today and was intrigued by what it had to say about wisdom. Of all the things in the bible James says that wisdom is the most important thing you can have, and that any man who asks will have it given to him. Why is wisdom so important? Is this something that is lost in todays society. I think that in todays society people confuse knowledge with wisdom. I can not be sure that I even know the difference between the two, but I know that knowledge comes from school and that wisdom comes from life. I think we overplay age in our society and label people to old to soon. We need to learn from the elderly in order to gain wisdom because they are the ones that are truly wise.
