"Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom." -James 3:13 (NASB)
We always have more to learn. Whether from school or from life experience, we can grow, learn and adapt. As we learn things, we may want to share what we have learned with others. Some people think they need to share their wisdom, learning, and understanding in ways that put others down. If we are truly wise, our demonstration of wisdom and understanding shouldn't put people down!
To have true wisdom and understanding, we need to know God. After we know God and grow in our wisdom and understanding through Him, we can let our deeds and behaviors show God's wisdom and understanding. Showing our wisdom from and through God should show His love and compassion. It should show His righteousness, but not in a condescending way that puts others down. Showing wisdom and understanding from God should build others up and allow them to experience the greatness and glory of God!
Get wisdom and understanding from God and then show it in a way that allows others to see God's love, grace, mercy, and power!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Than You for loving me and for continuing to teach me and to grant me wisdom and understanding. Allow me to show wisdom and understanding through my words and actions so that others can see Your ultimate wisdom and understanding. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
