James 3 verses 17 and 18; {Message Bible}:
"Real wisdom, God's wisdom. begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. it is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with go and enjoys it's results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor".
Wisdom is From above;
So in summary The wisdom from above is;
Pure:
Peaceable:
Gentle:
Not Hold and Cold:
Merciful;
Without Partiality:
Without Hypocrisy:
Full Of Good Fruit: Love, Joy, peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faith, Gentleness, Self-control.
To get wisdom from above: Proverbs 9 v 10; "The Fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and knowledge of the Holy is understanding".
The self interested wisdom of the world, can not compare to the Wisdom from above. Proverbs 3 verse 13: "Happy is the man [Or} lady that finds this wisdom".
Finally James 1 verse 5: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God".
Perhaps sometimes we ask our Lord and Lord, for the things we want rather then what we need. To ask for more wisdom. at times, maybe we could see our problems in a different Light. the Light of Who He really is.
We are envelope in Him. Romans 1 verse 8, so we should put every aspect of our lives also enveloped in Him, problems, difficulties and even our abilities, enveloped in the one Who has all the answers.
The Wisdom from above, take time to reflect how much Our Lord and Our Friend wants to give us, if we ask.
God Bless.
