Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. James 3-13-14 KJV Scripture Insight
Scripture Insight By The Fresh Bread Ministry
A naturally wise person is a knowing person. They will not value themselves merely on knowing things if they have not the wisdom to apply this knowledge. If we consider ourselves to be wiser than others, there has to be evidence through our actions and our conversation, and certainly not by our display of arrogant behavior or the superior abrasive opinion of this knowledge.
Spiritual wisdom is shown when the Child of GOD displays actions of meekness and temperament. When we look at the life Christ Jesus we see in His actions the greatest example and embodiment of Wisdom. His display of wisdom does not share the same heart with that of envy and strife.
Holy zeal and zest verses bitter envy and strife are in direct conflict with one another, they are total opposites, such as day is from night, or for a better choice heaven compared to hell. Spiritual wisdom is a gift given by GOD, manifested by GOD and ordained by GOD and there is no other method in which it can be achieved.
Spiritual wisdom brings with it maturity; it is not gained through knowledge gained in this world, as some people may believe; this gift is granted from our Father above. Spiritual wisdom will always show acts of righteousness in place of rebellion, truth instead deception and love at all situations. When we walk in this gift we shall reap the blessings and benefits of being a Child of the Most High GOD.
