—James 3:13-18
by: Victoria Shephard.
James has strong words for those who claim to be wise and yet harbor jealousy and selfishness in their hearts. He says that this is not godly wisdom, but “earthly” and “demonic” (v. 15)! True wisdom is gentle and is shown in good deeds. If we are to be “servants of wisdom” as we are studying this week, we must live it out and “walk our talk.” Does our walk match our talk, or do we talk a good game but act in any way we want? Does our wisdom come “down from above” (v. 15), or up from below?
