Today I am desiring to see the beauty in God’s wisdom that proceeds only from His heart. His wisdom is pure and untainted. God wants to bestow upon us His pure wisdom as we humbly desire and ask for it. You know we really do need it for every area of our life.
James 3:17 (The Voice)
“Heavenly wisdom centers on purity, peace, gentleness, deference, mercy,
and other good fruits untainted by hypocrisy.”
“Heavenly wisdom centers on purity, peace, gentleness, deference, mercy,
and other good fruits untainted by hypocrisy.”
When we ask God for His wisdom He desires to bless us with pure thoughts and good judgement. His wisdom is full of mercy, peace, and gentleness. His ways and answers are not harsh or hypocritical.
There will be times in this life that people may come to you with questions that are simply difficult to give answers to. As believers we can feel that we always have to have answers for people’s problems, and sometimes we can find ourselves at loss for words. I have found in my life for it to be very freeing to my heart and mind to admit when I do not know the answer to a particular question or problem. In saying that I do not know the answer, I can say I KNOW the One who does have every answer I need, and He is faithful to answer the prayer of a righteous man or woman.
As you ask God for His precious wisdom for those difficult situations, believe by faith that it is going to flow into you and flow forth from you as pure fresh living water. This is what we need and this is what people around us need…not our opinions, not our experiences, but rather the pure, life giving wisdom that comes only from above.
