Wisdom That Comes From Above

📖 James 3:17 (NKJV)

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

My Dear Children,
Not all wisdom is the same. The Bible teaches that there is a kind of wisdom that comes from above, from God Himself. This wisdom is different from human thinking. It is pure, peaceful, gentle, and full of mercy.

James 3:13 also tells us that wisdom is shown through good conduct and humility. It is not just what we know, but how we live.

In contrast, James 3:16 explains that where there is envy and selfish ambition, confusion follows. God’s wisdom brings peace, not confusion.

Relevance to Life and Family
Families face many choices and situations that require wisdom. When we seek God’s wisdom, we respond with patience, fairness, and kindness. This helps maintain peace and unity in the home.

A family guided by God’s wisdom reflects His character in everyday life.

Family Reflection

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the wisdom that comes from You. Teach our family to seek Your wisdom in all things. Help us live with purity, peace, and kindness. Guide us to reflect Your character in everything we do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
