# Our Christian value of wisdom

## ![](https://irebycofeschool.co.uk/images/gallery/our-christian-value-of-wisdom/Photo55.jpg)

Wisdom is insight into the way life works: a proper understanding of the consequences of our thoughts, words and actions and an awareness of the true value of things. It is rooted in proper reverence for God who is the source of all life and all values.

Wisdom is different to just being clever. Often wise people have lots of experience and can give good advice to help us make difficult decisions. Some people pray because they believe God can help them to live their lives wisely.

Our value of wisdom helps us to understand and accept others and grow our strong and loving community.

Bible stories: Wisdom may be taught through the parable of the 'Rich Fool' or **'The wise and foolish builder' (Matthew 7:24-27)**
