Wisdom

"The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding...counsel and might...knowledge and the fear of the Lord. His delight is in the fear of the Lord, and He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of his ears." Isaiah 11: 3

Isn't that where basic judgement comes from? Do we not evaluate circumstances by what we hear and see? Sometimes we pass on "factual" information but what we have only heard - good on us if we have heard AND seen it as well. We base many decisions off these two elements, and these only. However, there seems to be more to wise discernment than hearing and seeing. It says in this passage that Christ would not judge by only the sight of his eyes of hearing of his ears; rather, "the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him." The Holy Spirit is what gives wisdom, understanding and counsel into many situations or decisions that we would tend to discern on our own. Looking to Christ, listening to what the Holy Spirit has to say, is really "the beginning of wisdom." Proverbs 9:10. Don't base everything off your own understanding.
