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(James 3:17)
Love this description of wisdom of God! As we read this chapter 3 of James, it teaches us to handle our words n thoughts, in verse 24 we are reminded not to "glory in" or be proud of the bitterness, anger, strife that is in our heart. Regardless of how objective and genuine our grievance may be we must not respond in a way that is dishonours Christ. Heavenly wisdom is pure, peaceable, gentle, and easy to be approached, is full of mercy, so it looks over personal injuries; it is full of good fruits so it will respond with love even when attacked or provoked and it is without partiality or favouritism. Heavenly wisdom doesn't judge a person because of past mistakes/flaws!
Lord grant us your wisdom to reflects the kind of wisdom that comes from above, not the kind that is earthly, unspiritual, and devilish! Father God, I can't exhibit these qualities without Your wisdom. Let our children, families and churches be filled with your wisdom...
