Meekness of wisdom.
No strife in our
hearts, glorying not, lying not against the truth.
This is wisdom that
is earthly, sensual, devilish-
Where there is
envying in our hearts-
Where there is
strife in our hearts-
-there is confusion
and every evil work.
The wisdom that is
from above is-
Pure, peaceable,
gentle, easy to give, full of mercy, full of good results.
The wisdom that is
from above is-
-without partiality,
without hypocrisy.
The results of
righteousness is given in peace--- of those that make peace.
What's all this
mean? There is an earthly wisdom and earthly wisdom is filled with envying,
strife, confusion and evil.
When our lives are
fill with envy, strife and confusion we have to ask ourselves where it is
coming from. It's EARTHLY wisdom. We may believe we are right to feel these
things envy, strife, confusion and even evil because they come so naturally,
they fill our lives and the world all around us. Truly, with some people these
things are DAILY occurrences and while troublesome they are very commonplace.
Strife, confusion, envying, evil all are devilish and if we would allow
ourselves to recognize them for what they are- maybe, just maybe we could pray
for wisdom from above. We need pureness, peace, gentleness, mercy…we need God's
wisdom! We need to desire Gods wisdom. We need to shun the wisdom of the world,
the wisdom that is devilish. Please LORD, please, please we want to be YOURS
and have YOUR wisdom!
Jas 3:13 Who
is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good
conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Jas 3:14 But
if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not
against the truth.
Jas 3:15 This
wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Jas 3:16 For
where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Jas 3:17 But
the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy
to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without
hypocrisy.
Jas 3:18 And
the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
