Beginning with the month of May, we began praying The Book of James on the Ranger Joe’s God and Country Show .
James 3:13-18
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Wisdom from Above
13 Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. 18 And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Today's Prayer
Father, thank You, for the clear teaching from Your word is that there is a difference in the wisdom from You and the wisdom from the world. Your wisdom is pure, peace-loving, gentle and cultivates peace, but the wisdom that is not from You denies the truth, brags, is bitter and selfish. Lord, forgive us as a nation and as Your church for demonstrating to the world the wisdom that is earthly, unspiritual, and even demonic. And cause us Lord to show our works by good conduct, with Your wisdom’s gentleness. In the name of Your loving Son, amen.
