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. — James 3:13 KJV
Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. — James 3:13 NASB
Reflection
Wisdom is more than just a concept or an idea but rather a LIFESTYLE which is something that we make it grow in our everyday life even in the way we treat people, in the decisions we make, and in the way we choose to walk through life with grace and humility.
So, maybe the next time we find ourselves in a situation where we feel the need to prove our point or assert our wisdom, we can pause and ask ourselves this question: What does it look like to show wisdom through humility here? How can my actions, rather than my words, speak to the wisdom I hope to embody?
Because in the end, it’s not about being recognized as wise but instead about living in a way that reflects the quiet strength of a heart at peace with itself and with God. And that, I think, is the true essence of wisdom.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, I know that true wisdom doesn’t come from me trying to figure everything out on my own. It comes from being close to You, from letting Your Spirit guide me in each moment. So, I ask for Your presence to fill me, to give me the strength to choose humility over pride, and to lead me in a life that quietly honors You.
Help me to let go of my need to be right, to be seen, or to be praised. Instead, give me a heart that finds peace in simply walking with You, trusting that You see every humble deed, every quiet act of love, and that You are pleased.
In the precious name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
