TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE:

James 3:17–18

[17] But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. [18] And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. (ESV)

SUMMARY

We slow down with James’s definition of wisdom from above and let it expose the difference between God-shaped living and relying on our own smarts. We ask God to grow purity, peace, gentleness, mercy, and sincerity in us so our lives produce a quiet harvest of righteousness.

• a reading from James on wisdom that is pure and peaceable
• an honest self-check on whether our lives reflect God’s wisdom
• purity as motives and desires that are clean
• peaceable and gentle ways of relating that avoid strife
• being open to reason as a mark of humility
• mercy instead of condemnation when others do wrong
• good fruits that bless people in tangible ways
• impartiality and sincerity as the opposite of favoritism
• a prayer for rest and confidence that God gives wisdom
