WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING 👉James 3:13-18 - Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.👈 The challenge for us is to live out the true wisdom that the word confirms we have in Jesus . 👉James 3:13-18 has outlined true wisdom and what that looks like in a person’s life.👈 Therefore, how do we put wisdom and understanding into place in our lives? 👉Job 28:28 reads: “Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.”👈 Every person must understand this basic principle if we are to walk in wisdom. That is that wisdom is the fear of the Lord and avoidance of sin. This same point is confirmed in 👉Proverbs 9:10,👈 where we learn that the 👉Fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom.👈 Therefore, true wisdom is obtained by a genuine fear of the GOD. It is written in 👉Psalm 119:104-105 Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.👈 Therefore, true understanding is obtained by knowing the truth, instructions and principles of the word of God. Applying the fear of God and His precepts produces wisdom and understanding as well valuable spiritual fruit. May the mind of Christ continue to give you wisdom and understanding to the Glory of God. 👉1 Corinthians 1:30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,👈
