Daily Word:
James 3:17
“But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled), then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity).”
For the last ten years I have been seeking Wisdom.
I continue to seek Wisdom.
I consistently pray for Wisdom.
The Word tells me to.
Here in our verse today is a wonderful explanation or description of what Wisdom actually is.
It is pure.
It loves peace.
Wisdom willingly succumbs to reason.
It is full of compassion.
It is straightforward and is not a part of confusion.
It is fair and just.
It does not doubt.
It does not waiver.
It is always sincere.
It is gentle.
I may not have obtained all of these attributes as of today or be able to maintain all of them at all times, but I aspire to them.
And, so I continue to seek these gifts.
Because I want to be able to be able to be peaceful, compassionate, doubtless, sincere, fair, just, and yield to reason.
Today I choose Wisdom from heaven over the world’s reasoning and pray that God will continue to instill His Wisdom into my heart, mind, and soul.
May you find that as You seek Wisdom God will give you all that you ask.
Daily Prayer:
O Lord, my God, thank You for Your Word that changes my heart and soul every time I read it. Thank You for granting me the desires of my heart. As You change my soul, I ask for more of You. I ask for more Wisdom, Father. Please instill Your Wisdom into my mind and soul so that I can live according to Your Word. I desire peace and purity of thought. I desire compassion over a hard heart. I desire the ability to reason over confusion. I desire firm conviction over doubt. I desire justice over wrongdoing. Help me follow You instead of the world, Lord. Keep me seeking You and Your will for my life instead of being caught up in the world’s desires. Keep my eyes on You, Father. Prepare me for this day and for Your service. Help me do all that You have for me to do. Help me be obedient to You, Lord. Lead and guide my every step, thought, and word. Help me build up instead of tear down. Help me bless someone this day. Thank You for hearing my prayer.
