Wisdom
SCRIPTURE
James 3:17-18 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. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.
NUGGET
Are you in need of some wise counsel today? Sometimes finding wise advice can feel confusing...everyone seems to think they can give it! But how do you know if it’s actually the kind of wisdom that God talks about in His word? Go straight to the source! In James 3, there are some clear signs to be on the lookout for regarding wisdom…ask yourself this: Is it pure? Peace loving? Always gentle? Willing to yield to others?
ACTIVATION
As you examine the advice you’re receiving in light of James 3, take a step back and reconsider if you’re getting true wisdom, or just someone else's strong opinion. The more you know God’s word, the more you can filter what you’re hearing through what He says!
PRAYER
Lord as I seek wise counsel, give me a discerning heart to look for the kind of wisdom You talk about in your Word!
