"Only the Lord gives wisdom." Proverbs 2:6 NCV
Here's Paul's prayer for the Ephesian church: "That...God...may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation" (Eph 1:17 NKJV). For the Colossian church, he asked that God would fill them with "the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding" (Col 1:9 NKJV). James wrote: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting" (Jas 1:5-6 NKJV). Godly wisdom also comes to us by Bible reading. This is why Paul, in his last letter before being beheaded for the gospel, wrote to his successor Timothy and said, "From childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are unable to make you wise for salvation" (2Ti 3:15 NKJV). How would you know that the wisdom you're walking in comes from God? "God's wisdom begins with a holy life...characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced" (Jas 3:17 MSG). As young Solomon took the throne of Israel God asked him, "What shall I give you?" (1Ki 3:5 NKJV). Solomon answered: "'Give to Your servant an understanding heart.' The speech please the Lord, that Solomon has asked this thing" (1Ki 3:9-10 NKJV). As a result, Solomon became known as one of the wisest men who ever lived, and hr wrote three of the books of the Bible. And the God who gave him wisdom will give it to you too. All you have to do is pray for it and open your heart and mind to His Word.
