Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 3:13-18
While reading this scripture written by James, the brother of Jesus, I am curious if any part of it may have stung or caused a little discomfort? If so praise God because then that means that He loves you and He wants you to address the sting. As we are taught with Pharoah if we continue to neglect the Truth of God then our hearts can harden to a point that will not only destroy us but they can affect our families as well.
I plead with you from my heart to yours to not allow Satan to spiritually rob you of the peace that can be experienced with God when we become transparent and obedient in His Word…
