Wisdom
-
James 3:13-18 says, “ Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. [14] But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. [15] This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. [16] For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. [17] But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. [18] And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”
There is a difference between worldly wisdom and true wisdom. Worldly wisdom is tainted with selfish ambition and pride while heavenly wisdom is always pure. Worldly wisdom always leads to disorder and evil. Heavenly wisdom always leads to good fruits and righteousness.
Do you seek worldly wisdom, or heavenly wisdom?
