DON'T BE FOOLED!

11-12-2009. . . .DON’T BE FOOLED!

There is Wisdom that comes from above and then there is wisdom that comes not from above, "but is earthly, sensual, devilish. (James 3:15) Don’t be fool! Discern and know the difference. “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure and full of quiet gentleness. Then it is peace-loving and courteous. It allows discussion and is willing to yield to others; it is full of mercy and good deeds. It is wholehearted and straightforward and sincere.” ( James 3:17 TLB)

Prayer: Lord, through discernment we distinguish between the wisdom of this world and the wisdom that come from you! Clearly your wisdom is superior and desirable to me. Thank you. Amen!

James 3:13-16. . . . If you are wise, live a life of steady goodness so that only good deeds will pour forth. And if you don't brag about them, then you will be truly wise! 14 And by all means don't brag about being wise and good if you are bitter and jealous and selfish; that is the worst sort of lie. For jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, inspired by the devil. For wherever there is jealousy or selfish ambition, there will be disorder and every other kind of evil. TLB
