Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
—James 3:13 (KJV)
Wisdom isn't shown by our book learning, street smarts, intellectual comments, or arrogant boasting. True wisdom demonstrates itself through the godly character of our lives as we live with humility and are generous with kind deeds.
O Father, make me wise like Jesus. Please help me know your will more fully and live it more faithfully with kindness and humility, especially toward the lost, outcast, stumbling, broken, forgotten, and alone. May the words of my mouth and the actions of my life please you and bring your grace to others. In Jesus' name, I ask for your help in being your kind of person. Amen.
