“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.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

James 3 highlights two main themes: the need to control speech and the call to live by God’s wisdom rather than worldly desires. This verse teaches that true wisdom is not proven by words or claims but by a person’s actions and lifestyle. James emphasizes that wisdom from God is marked by humility, not arrogance. A wise person demonstrates their understanding through a life of good works, lived with gentleness and humility, reflecting God’s character rather than worldly pride.

Prayer:
“Lord, You are the source of all wisdom. Teach me to walk in humility and to show Your wisdom through my actions. Let my life reflect gentleness, kindness, and peace, so that others may see Your light in me. Keep pride far from my heart and clothe me in the humility that honors You. Amen.”

The true heart of wisdom comes from God
Not from from the world, friends or family that are flawed
Humble actions that reflect gentleness, kindness and peace
Sing in tune and rhythm with Heaven’s holy society
