TODAY’S VERSE
If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.- But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.
James 3:13, 17 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
We usually think of wisdom in terms of knowledge or the ability to solve a mystery. However, James describes something much more comprehensive. It is “relational” wisdom. The wisdom that God desires includes morality, prudence, humility, gentleness, love, mercy, and good deeds. It seems that God is more interested in how we apply what we know, especially how we relate to others. You can be intellectually right yet morally wrong in the way you use your knowledge. To be correct, yet arrogant, unloving, and proud is not real wisdom. Might God grant us the understanding that real wisdom is “peace-loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others? It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.”
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, I ask for your wisdom in all that I do. With that wisdom, please help me be gentle, humble, loving, and merciful.
AMEN
