Humility Study: Part XI - Wisdom and Humility

James 3:13-18
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

To have humility, there has to be wisdom. Maybe that will be my topic for February. And that makes sense, to show humility, you have to be wise and think things through before choosing an action. And what is also noteworthy, wisdom that leads to humility is not worldly wisdom but wisdom that comes from God, a pure wisdom. This will be interesting to see what comes next month when I study out some wisdom.

It is actually 11 of 13, since I missed out last weekend.
