ATTRIBUTES OF WISDOM FROM ABOVE
THE SEED
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” James 3:17–18 (KJV)Wisdom develops as our relationship with God grows. It is more valuable than prosperity, because the Bible says that “the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.” This means that to enjoy God-given prosperity, we must walk in divine wisdom.
Heavenly wisdom is never rude or selfish. It bears good fruit and is characterised by purity, peace, gentleness, mercy, sincerity, and impartiality. It promotes righteousness and unity. In contrast, worldly wisdom is often bitter, envious, self- centered, and does not lead to a life pleasing to God. If we lack divine wisdom, we can ask our loving Father, and He will give it to us freely. His wisdom enables us to live a fruitful, godly life.
BIBLE READING: James 3:13–18
PRAYER: My saviour and God, please grant me Your wisdom, so I may rightly apply knowledge and live a life that brings You glory. Amen.
