Notes on Wisdom 5

by Lori Sithole


James 3:17 spells out the characteristics of wisdom from heaven.

“ But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first and all pure and full of quiet gentleness.  Then it is peace-loving and courteous.  It allows discussion and is willing to yield to others; it is full of mercy and good deeds.  It is wholehearted and straight forward and sincere." (Children's Living Bible)


Here’s the scripture in checklist form:   
    
___Pure
___Full of quiet gentleness
___Peace loving
___Courteous
___Allows discussion
___Is willing to yield to others
___Full of mercy and good deeds
___Whole hearted
___Straight forward
___Sincere

If what’s offered to you as wisdom doesn’t meet these standards, then what?  What a nice litmus test to use when evaluating your sources of information!  Thanks, God!

Big Blessings to You!
