Morning Bliss: The Attributes of Wisdom_
Focal Scripture : James 3:17; The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy"
Read: James 3:12-18
What a wonderful, and revealing, description of heavenly wisdom!
When we become embittered or angry with another person, even a spouse or a fellow church member, we can justify a great variety of cruel words, divisive gossip, or vengeful actions. Sadly, we can even begin to think of ourselves as being in the right while we spread lies or exaggerate offenses or nurse grudges.
But the ever-practical pastor James reminds us not to "glory in" or be proud of the bitterness, anger, strife that is in our heart (14) . No matter how objective and genuine our grievance may be, we make ourselves immediately in the wrong when we respond in a way that is dishonoring to Christ.
No matter what the argument or hurt may be, James says, remember that heavenly wisdom is pure, peaceable, gentle, and easy to be approached. Godly wisdom is full of mercy, so it looks over personal injuries; it is full of good fruits so it responds with a formidable love when attacked or provoked.
A truly wise response will also be without partiality or favoritism. It does not judge someone because of past mistakes, or personality flaws, or family ties. A mature Christian will react with the same forbearance and discretion and charity to a near stranger as they will to a family member (or visa versa!).
Here, I give you clear definition of what wisdom is.; Wisdom is the Right applications of God's word to lives situations.
James, once said, if any lack wisdom? Let him ask! Jam. 1:5;. He is not trying to depict the total absence of Wisdom, because if you are Born again, then the wisdom of God resides inside you as Christ dwells in You Col. 2:3.
The word "Lack" Means, left behind. When you read Jam. 1:5 in message translations, it says, "If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father"; that's don't leave God behind to take actions.
Some of us take actions leaving Wisdom Behind, that can be said as, " leaving Christ behind, leaving the Word of life behind", etc, and when we get into trouble, we will start crying or wanting to repair damages.
Wisdom is the first capital you need in life to survive not money. Wisdom can fetch you money, can get you all manner of wealths if rightly applied.
Dear Friend, is your present thought life and behavior reflecting the kind of wisdom that comes from above, or the kind that is earthly, unspiritual, and devilish?
Today, Child of God, before you take any step, decisions, actions etc, do not leave wisdom behind!
