How do we recognize wisdom?

Lady of Light

Often, we seek wisdom - we ask God for it and we pray for it as we try to handle difficult situations in life and as we try to understand what God is saying or what God wants us to do. How do we differentiate between our own mind, the influence of others and circumstances that can be confusing?

In James, Chapter 3:16-17, the bible says the following:

"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy."

These are the signs that God is imparting wisdom. If it is pure and peaceful, gentle and full of mercy.

I hope that this portion of the word may help you to discern God's wisdom in your daily life.

God bless you and have a great day!
