THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

Christians, read the Bible so we can to become like Jesus, in the epistle of James 3, it speaks about the importance of wisdom 

Wikipedia explanation of wisdom is that ”Wisdom, also known as sapience, is the ability to apply knowledge, experience and good judgement to navigate life’s complexities. It is often associated with insight, discernment, ethics in decision making”

 

In the book of James, we read of two Kinds of Wisdom

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.

Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness
