Food For Thought: There are two kinds of wisdom, the apostle James says worldly wisdom that is contaminated, ambitious and envious and heavenly wisdom that is pure, content, merciful and submissive. So, to be spiritually wise, a person must exhibit understanding, acceptance and peace.
James also says that the one who is understanding and wise will show it by his good life. The good life is not attaining a college degree, succeeding in your career, owning an expensive car, having money in the bank or vacationing in Hawaii. Yes, all these things are wonderful and sweet to our worldly taste, it’s not the good life.
The good life is peace knowing that we are considerate instead of crabby, that we stood by faithfully when all the chips were down for the other guy, that we sacrificially gave to a worthy cause, that we were real in the midst of phonies, that we had the courage to defer reward for something better down the road.
