“Are any of you wise or sensible? Then show it by living right and by being humble and wise in everything you do. But if your heart is full of bitter jealousy and selfishness, don’t brag or lie to cover up the truth. That kind of wisdom doesn’t come from above. It is earthly and selfish and comes from the devil himself. Whenever people are jealous or selfish, they cause trouble and do all sorts of cruel things. But the wisdom that comes from above leads us to be pure, friendly, gentle, sensible, kind, helpful, genuine, and sincere. When peacemakers plant seeds of peace, they will harvest justice.”
James 3: 13-18
I thank God every day for the spiritual nourishment that He provides through the Holy Bible. He is my breath of fresh air. It seems that whatever is bothering me at any given time and I open up my Bible the passage that I open to usually pertains to my problem. We as a society are coming up on some serious times and only faith in God will give us the strength we need to endure and make it through. The passage above is very uplifting to me and gives me reassurance that being humble and putting God’s work first is the path I need to stay on.
