Wisdom During Storm; Day234

Pro 2:5 Then you will understand the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of [our omniscient] God. [Prov. 1:7.]
Pro 2:6 For the Lord gives skillful and godly Wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Yesterday was a chaotic/confusing/uncertain day for people that works for Samsung Austin. The management announced yesterday to close Fab1 for a year for retooling and conversion to 300mm (press release). I’ve been with Samsung for 11 years now and I’ve seen the ups and down of the company for so many times and Samsung somehow finds a way to survive. Closing Fab1 was bad news but a decision to convert it to 300mm is good news. I am now in Fab2, (the 300mm factory) but when I heard the news, it felt like a big burden/stress fall on me. My job is not secured and I told my wife and kids to prepare for the worst. I am in a big storm right now. There are so many what ifs flowing through my mind. To all my prayer partners, stand the gap for me, I need your prayers.
You might be asking now “what my next move?” My answer is – NOTHING. I will not do anything yet. I will wait until the storm passes. My life backpack is full of contingency plans and it is just a matter of pulling each item one by one as soon as the need arises. In the meantime, I will continue doing the same thing – be in the Word and in prayer.
I’ve asked this question to some of my friends before and no one seems to get the answer correctly. “If one wish will be granted to you right now, what will you ask?” Most of the answers were – money, more money, good health, a good husband, a good wife, a nice job, peace, joy, happiness, a child, my family, power. (1Kings 3-5) King Solomon’s answer was Wisdom, because in Wisdom, he can find money, power, honor, fame etc.
What is Wisdom really in plain English? “When you ask something in prayer, a revelation is given to you and you took a step forward/make decision and the results are positive.” (my 2 cents)
