Read James chapter 3

VERSE:

James 3:13–Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

TRUTH:

Wisdom is seen in two places. First, our actions display wisdom or our lack of it. What we do matters and is a perfect opportunity to display to those around us what we are thinking about. Second, our attitude displays our level of wisdom. It’s not enough to just do the right things, the way we do them matters as well. Do we have the right motives and are we acting out of humility or pride?

RESPONSE:

Father, help me to be wise in all that I do and how I do it. Help me to seek only Your praise for the things that I am doing. I pray that You will help me to know the things that I need to be doing and how I should be doing them.
