When Jesus said "kingdom of God is in your midst.” did he mean it was inside them? Lk17:21

Wisdom


Who are these maidens which Wisdom has sent forth, as she cries upon the highest places of the city?
"Wisdom has builded her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:
She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she has also furnished her table.
She has sent forth her maidens: she cries upon the highest places of the city,
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wants understanding, she says to him,
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
Forsake the foolish, and LIVE; and go in the way of understanding." Proverbs 9:1-6

What, dear friends, is the Way of Understanding?

Why also did God look down from heaven to see if there were ANY that did Understand....?

"God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,

to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God." Psalm 53:2

If God is looking to see if any understand and seek Him,

the God of Truth, then what does that tell us about true understanding?

 Quoting: Newheart


Good question for sure, good post. here is a glimpse into Jehovah's wisdom for us to ponder to his honor;
" Who is wise and understanding among YOU? Let him show out of his fine conduct his works with a mildness that belongs to wisdom. 14 But if YOU have bitter jealousy and contentiousness in YOUR hearts, do not be bragging and lying against the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is [the] earthly, animal, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and contentiousness are, there disorder and every vile thing are.
17 But the wisdom from above is first of all chaste, then peaceable, reasonable, ready to obey, full of mercy and good fruits, not making partial distinctions, not hypocritical. 18 Moreover, the fruit of righteousness has its seed sown under peaceful conditions for those who are making peace.
4 From what source are there wars and from what source are there fights among YOU? Are they not from this source, namely, from YOUR cravings for sensual pleasure that carry on a conflict in YOUR members? 2 YOU desire, and yet YOU do not have. YOU go on murdering and coveting, and yet YOU are not able to obtain. YOU go on fighting and waging war. YOU do not have because of YOUR not asking. 3 YOU do ask, and yet YOU do not receive, because YOU are asking for a wrong purpose, that YOU may expend [it] upon YOUR cravings for sensual pleasure.
4 Adulteresses, do YOU not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God. 5 Or does it seem to YOU that the scripture says to no purpose: “It is with a tendency to envy that the spirit which has taken up residence within us keeps longing”? 6 However, the undeserved kindness which he gives is greater. Hence it says: “God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones.” Ja3:13
A life times worth of meditation? At least.
