James 3:17-18
The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
What of Today’s Verse…
Now I know why righteousness is so hard to find: there aren’t many sowers! Heavenly wisdom is full of sacrificial earthly action. That’s a powerful reminder to me that wisdom is not what you know but what you sow!
Â
Let us Pray:
Holy and Wise Father, thank you for demonstrating purity, peace making, consideration, submissiveness, mercy, good fruit, impartiality, and sincerity in Jesus. I ask for the power and the courage to demonstrate those qualities this week as I seek to live more like him. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Oops!
Admit your mistakes, acknowledge your setbacks, and they lose their control over you. Everyone makes mistakes. In fact, you may very well be wrong more than you’re right. The key is to recognize the errors and get back on course.
If you make a wrong turn, you don’t have to keep going down that road. Turn around and get back on the highway. The sooner you get back on course, the sooner you’ll arrive at your destination.
Maybe you’ve had a bad day. Maybe you didn’t accomplish all you set out to do today. Don’t waste tomorrow by fretting about it. Get on with your journey. Pick up where you left off, and leave the setback behind. Move forward. Even when you get kicked back, move forward.
You determine the direction in your life. No matter where you find yourself, you can always move in the direction of your goals and dreams.
