Today's Verse: James 3:13 (KJV)

Saturday, May 7, 2005

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)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Wisdom isn't shown by our "book learning," smart comments, or arrogance. No, true wisdom is shown by the godly character of our life lived with humility and kind deeds.

My Prayer...

O Father, make me wise like Jesus. Please give me the ability to more fully know your will and more faithfully live it with kindness and humility. May the words of my mouth and the actions of my life please you and bring your grace to others. In Jesus' name. Amen.
