“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not [does not scold]: and it shall be given him” (James 1:5).
Wisdom is knowing how to use the knowledge we have in a right way. Many people in this world have knowledge, but do not know how to use it. God promises that if we really want wisdom, we may ask Him, and He will give it to us. This does not mean that we will suddenly be smarter than we were before, but rather that we will be able to make right decisions in our life, in dependence on the Lord.
More than this, God does not scold us for not having wisdom. Perhaps you have asked a question, and the person whom you asked made you feel stupid for not knowing the answer already. I remember some teachers and university professors who did this, and embarrassed their students. But the Lord will never do this to us; He will give us wisdom if we ask Him, for He loves us, and wants to help us.
