I am reading through and doing the 1 month study guide to Jim Berg’s
“When Trouble Comes” I’m a week in and it has already been challenging
to me.I wanted to share with you all one area that especially challenged me. It comes from James 3…I want to grow in wisdom! It seems that especially since Rand’s heart attack I have been pushed to God like never before. I find myself begging God to give me wisdom which He promises to give (James 1:5) But, as I read James 3 I realized that true and pure wisdom comes with some amazing characteristics that I want to make part of my life. I want these characteristics to be true even with my interaction to those that I don’t necessarily get along with or agree with…with the Lord’s help I can be a man of Wisdom and godly character!
Here are the characteristics from James 3:
Bless Jesus and the Father
Show works in “meekness of wisdom”
Purity
Peaceable
Gentle
Open to reason
Full of mercy
Full of good fruits
Impartial
Sincere
Righteous
