James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Devotion.
The wisdom that comes from God is pure, wholly and surpasses human wisdom and knowledge.
Prayer (for you)
Eternal Father in Heaven,
How wonderful to know that You will give me Your wisdom, knowledge and understanding when I seek You with all my heart, soul and mind.
O Lord, to seek You means reading and studying the Holy Bible, praying, asking for forgiveness, singing hymns and spiritual songs, sharing Bible knowledge with others, so that they can come to the knowledge of how to be saved from sin and destruction.
Also to seek the Lord is to develop our own personal relationship with our Creator God, Lord Jesus, and Holy Spirit.
And also to be pleasing to the Lord in our conduct, and obey the Lord God in all our ways.
O Lord, I know that I need Your help and guidance to be pleasing to You.
So I humbly ask that You continue to guide me as I journey along the Christian pathway.
And give me Your wisdom, understanding, and help me to acknowledge You in all my ways, so that You can give me Your peace – the peace of God that surpasses all human understanding.
O Lord Jesus, please forgive me of my sins, cleanse me and make me wholly Thine, completely devoted to You, now and forever.
I love and adore You and bless Your Holy Name.
Praise the Lord!
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Leaning on the everlasting arms.
