Wisdom is the ability to navigate life well. We long to find the right response, the right words, the right approach as we face suffering or success, and as we manage relationships. The New Testament Epistle of James offers us the opportunity to pluck the practical wisdom of a disciple of Jesus and challenges us to make the choice to apply it to our lives everyday. Join us as we examine the tried-and-true wisdom of James—and discover how living out a wise faith can impact all aspects of our lives.
Homework
Monitor your mouth. Take daily stock of your words and actions. Think through your meetings and interactions. At any point, were you guilty of a half-truth? Or of spinning a conversation? Ask God for the ability to see this in real-time so you can make a different choice and choose truth.
Ephesians 4:25 – Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
