Wisdom from Above
"But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere." James 3:17 (ESV)
Sometimes trying to figure out what is wise in a particular situation is difficult. But God does give guidance. Here's one of His checklists:
For something to be truly wise it must be:
____ pure
____ peaceable
____ gentle
____ open to reason
____ full of mercy
____ full of good fruit (beneficial outcomes)
____ impartial
____ sincere

This verse has been much in my mind and prayers recently... but I never thought of it in terms of a checklist. Thanks for this, Carol.
