Two Kinds of Wisdom

What kind of wisdom are you paying attention to today? Is it the wisdom of this world or wisdom from above? James reminds us that the world’s wisdom is marked by “bitter jealousy and selfish ambition” (James 3:14). In contrast, God's wisdom is “pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere” (James 3:17).

According to James, we are driven by earthly wisdom when we feel distant from God and believe our needs aren't being met (James 4:1-3). The good news is that God is always near, and what we need can be ours for the asking (James 4:2).
