17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. 18 And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.--- James 3:17-18True Wisdom Comes From GodHave you ever known anyone who claimed to be wise but who acted foolishly? True wisdom can be measured by a person’s character. Just as you can identify a tree by the type of fruit it produces, you can evaluate your wisdom by the way you act. Foolishness leads to disorder, but wisdom leads to peace and goodness. Are you tempted to escalate the conflict, pass on the gossip, or fan the fire of discord? Careful, winsome speech and wise, loving words are the seeds of peace. God loves peacemakers ( Matthew 5:9).--- Life Application Study Bible notesPrayer Dear Heavenly Father,Thank you for teaching us that Your wisdom is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.Lead me and guide me to seek the wisdom that can only come from you so that I may manifest Your wisdom in my life to bring honor and glory to You.In Jesus’ nameAmen
