True Wisdom

James 3:17 (NLT)

 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 the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.


Notes:

Most of us think that if we know a lot of things, we are wise. If we trick someone and gain something good, we are wise. If we can live on our own and do not depend on others, we are wise. If we insist our own rights, we are wise. If we earn a degree, we are wise. If we successfully get through someone with our lies, we are wise. Actually, WE ARE NOT. All these things are not true.

True wisdom always does what is right and believes on what is true. It is not self-seeking but willing to understand, forgive, give way, submit, obey, be corrected, and be taught. It is slow to get angry and doesn't depend on outburst emotions. It doesn't rush things out but thinks carefully and plans well. It is kind and  fair and doesn't take side. Lastly, it does what's best for another.

It is impossible to do all these things without God's help in our life. We need God to teach us every single moment how to live in such wisdom.

Let's live with God's WISDOM.

Prayer:

Our Father in Heaven, you are so wonderful and awesome. Nothing can be greater that you. And we are glad to know that through this, we can assure that our trust can never be forfeited. We believe that true wisdom comes from you Oh God. We badly need it in our life. It is the only way to protect us from this crooked generation where lies and deceptions are just a norm. Save us from darkness through the light of your wisdom. Dear Lord, with out own might and strength we cannot do it. But with you in our life, everything can be done. In Jesus Name, we ask and pray. Amen.
