Get Wise

6/11/2016

"For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.  But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy." -James 3:16-17 (NASB)
What is wisdom and what does it mean to be wise?  Albert Einstein once said, “Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.” We often associate wisdom with the combination of knowledge and experience.  We may even think of "old" when we think of wise. 

Wisdom is more than just experience and using knowledge.  Wisdom doesn't automatically make something good nor is it only reserved for when you get "old."  We need to consider our motivations and the source of wisdom.  Wisdom can be twisted and used for selfish or evil ways or it can be good and pure.  When our wisdom comes from God, we know it is good and it is pure.  Wisdom from God is filled with peace, love, and understanding.  It is built on God's unchanging nature and on His Word.  Through prayer and study of the Bible, we can become wiser and live or lives with increasing wisdom for good!

Learn wisdom from God and you will know that it is pure and good!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being willing to teach me and to make me wiser.  Please help me to embrace the wisdom that You provide and guide me in using it in peaceful, loving, and understanding ways.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
