    Wisdom involves integrating knowledge and experience with deep understanding and tolerance for life's uncertainties. It provides a sense of balance. Knowledge is having information through experience or study, while wisdom is acting on that knowledge in a given situation. Wisdom is a gift from God that reveals itself through applying biblical knowledge. The two concepts are interconnected - one needs knowledge to gain wisdom, and wisdom reveals itself through applying knowledge.
