Wisdom belongs to the aged and understanding to the old but true wisdom and power are found in God; counsel and understanding are His.
This is a statement that we can never forget to remind ourselves of. The human instinct is to accumulate knowledge and understanding to "make ourselves better" but what then happens naturally is to push God to a lesser position as we decide we don't need His help so much any more. We might get wiser with age but that wisdom must be borne of God to ensure it does not become fleshly and self-defeating.
